Former Jharkhand chief minister and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Champai Soren has stated that he has no intention of leaving politics. He also mentioned that the possibility of starting a new political party remains an option for him.
The statement follows his recent X post, where he voiced his dissatisfaction with his current party, the JMM and provided a detailed account of his grievances.
“It is a new chapter of my life. I won’t quit politics as I have received lots of love and support from my followers. The chapter has closed, I may form a new outfit,” the Champai Soren was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
On Sunday, the senior JMM leader had already indicated that he was considering three options: retiring, starting a new party, or joining another party.
In a post on X, Champai Soren claimed that on July 3, shortly after Hemant Soren was granted bail by the Jharkhand High Court and released from prison, all his scheduled programs were cancelled without explanation.
“When I asked about the reasons for cancellation, I was told that there is a meeting of party legislators on July 3 and I cannot attend any government programmes till then,” he wrote.
“When the party’s central executive meeting has not been held for years, and one-sided orders are passed, then whom should I go to and tell my problems? I am counted among the senior members in this party, the rest are juniors, and the supremo who is senior to me is no longer active in politics due to health, then what option did I have? If he had been active, perhaps the situation would have been different,” he further said.
The 67-year-old Champai Soren, who took office as Chief Minister on February 2, just before Hemant Soren's arrest, was compelled to vacate the post on July 3. Hemant Soren, who had been jailed in connection with an alleged corruption case, resumed the position after being released on bail.
