Jharkhand govt set for cabinet expansion; Kalpana Soren likely to be one of the inductees

Five months ahead of the assembly polls in Jharkhand, the Champai Soren-led coalition government is considering a Cabinet expansion in July. This move aims to fill two vacancies and possibly include Kalpana Soren, wife of jailed former CM Hemant Soren, who won the Gandey assembly by-election in May. While sources suggest Kalpana could be a key face for the upcoming polls, there is speculation about her reluctance to join the Cabinet for less than six months.
