AS Champai Soren veers towards BJP, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren says party trying to 'poach MLAs with money power'

Former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren visited New Delhi to talk with BJP leaders about his political future while denying intentions to join them. Feeling humiliated by his removal as CM, he considered various options including forming a new party. His visit aimed at securing election tickets for himself and his son. Current CM Hemant Soren launched a cash transfer scheme for women and criticized BJP for alleged election manipulations. Champai’s potential move to BJP is also seen as a strategy to regain influence in the Kolhan region.
