Former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Champai Soren, made headlines by joining the BJP in Ranchi, abandoning his ties to the JMM party led by founder Shibu Soren. Champai Soren, who also served as a minister in the Hemant Soren cabinet, expressed his discontent with the current state government's way of functioning and decided to part ways with the party he had been associated with for many years.
After Champai Soren resigned from the CM post, citing displeasure with how he was removed from the position, Hemant Soren reclaimed his role as Chief Minister of Jharkhand. Reports suggest that Champai Soren felt slighted by the manner in which his removal from the CM post was handled, leading to his decision to join the BJP and distance himself from the JMM party.
The JMM party quickly appointed Ramdas Soren as a minister in the Hemant Soren government to replace Champai Soren, with the former taking his oath in a ceremony attended by top leaders and government officials. Ramdas Soren's induction into the state cabinet followed the resignation of Champai Soren from his ministerial and MLA positions, marking a significant change in the political landscape of Jharkhand.
