Tensions rose in Jharkhand’s political landscape on Sunday as senior Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Champai Soren arrived in Delhi, sparking speculation about a possible defection to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In response, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren accused the BJP of conspiring to undermine both his party and government through financial inducements.
Champai Soren, the former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, traveled to Delhi with four other JMM leaders. His sudden visit has fueled rumors about a potential switch to the BJP. However, when approached by journalists, Soren dismissed the speculation, stating, “I am here for some personal work.”

Chief Minister Hemant Soren addressed the issue during a public meeting in Godda, accusing the BJP of attempting to destabilize the Jharkhand government by using money to divide political and societal structures. “The BJP is deliberately trying to undermine our government by attempting to buy our MLAs and create discord within society and political parties,” Soren said.
The Chief Minister condemned the BJP’s tactics, claiming that the party employs financial incentives to sway politicians. He emphasized the resilience of the INDIA bloc alliance government in Jharkhand, noting that three ministers from his administration sacrificed their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are committed to continuing our work and determined to eliminate the BJP from Jharkhand in the upcoming elections,” Soren declared. He also criticized the BJP for allegedly inciting unrest among tribals, Dalits, and minorities by bringing in leaders from other states.
Hemant Soren vowed to counteract the BJP’s influence and accused the party of manipulating the Election Commission by placing allies within the poll panel. “While the BJP influence over elections, our party will resolute and decisively defeat them when the elections,” he mention.
In Delhi, Champai Soren remained non-committal about joining the BJP ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly elections later this year. His political activities have intensified rumors of a possible defection. Additionally, he updated his X bio to remove references to JMM and reportedly met with Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari in Kolkata on Saturday.
The situation continues to develop, with political observers closely watching for further signs of a shift in allegiance.
