Hemant Soren to be sworn in as Jharkhand’s new Chief Minister

Ranchi | Correspondent: Champai Soren resigned as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. He submitted his resignation to the Governor at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday evening.

Former Chief Minister Hemant Soren will be sworn in as the new Chief Minister on July seven.

Champai Soren and Hemant Soren were both present at Raj Bhavan. Hemant Soren also submitted a letter of support from the MLAs to the Governor and claimed the right to form the government.

During a media interaction after his resignation, Champai Soren said, “It is about our alliance. Recently, we decided to change the leadership.”

He continued, “When we changed the leadership, I was given the responsibility of the Chief Minister’s post. After this, political developments occurred, and Hemant Babu came back. We have again elected Hemant Babu as the leader of the alliance, and I have resigned from the post of Chief Minister.”

Champai Soren added, “We have followed the alliance’s decisions.”

Former Chief Minister Hemant Soren stated, “The honorable Chief Minister has said everything. There is a lot of chaos right now; we will provide more details later. We have completed whatever process was necessary.”

Hemant was arrested by the ED five months ago in an alleged land scam case, which forced him to step down as the CM and pick Champai as his successor.

Hemant Soren was released from jail on June 28 after nearly five months, as the Jharkhand high court granted him bail in the money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.
