Former JMM loyalist Champai Soren joins BJP to tackle "infiltration" issue in Santhal Pargana, shifting political focus.
Champai Soren, a former loyalist of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), says that he is determined to devote the remainder of his political career to deal with the issue of “infiltration” in Santhal Pargana. Mr. Soren, who was the Chief Minister of Jharkhand for about five months while Hemant Soren was in jail for a money-laundering case, said that several decisions taken when he was in power have now been put on hold. He says he joined the BJP as he was sure that he could work on the “infiltration” issue. Excerpts:
