Former Jharkhand CM in capital for talks; decision expected within days
Champai Soren’s Delhi visit sparks rumors of potential BJP alliance, with a decision anticipated soon.
RANCHI – Former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren’s Delhi trip ignites speculation about joining BJP, decision expected in coming days.
Champai Soren, former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, has once again found himself at the center of political speculation following his recent trip to Delhi.
The visit has reignited rumors about his potential alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Despite previously denying such intentions, Soren’s latest statements have left room for interpretation.
"A big decision would be taken in a day or two," Soren remarked, fueling further speculation about his political future.
Sources close to the matter suggest that Soren’s joining the BJP may be imminent, with final talks allegedly scheduled with Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
These sources claim that if the BJP secures victory in the upcoming assembly elections, Soren could be considered for the chief ministerial position.
However, Soren has reportedly set a condition for his potential alliance – securing an assembly ticket for his son, Bablu Soren, from either Ghatshila or Potka constituency.
Adding to the intrigue, Assam Chief Minister and BJP co-in-charge for Jharkhand assembly polls, Himanta Biswa Sarma, contradicted Soren’s earlier denials.
Sarma stated, "I want Champai Soren to join BJP. But he is a big leader, so I will not comment about him."
The Assam CM also expressed openness to discussions with current Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, citing infiltration as a pressing issue for the state.
As political circles buzz with anticipation, the coming days are expected to bring clarity to Champai Soren’s political trajectory and its potential impact on Jharkhand’s political landscape.
