The BJP, featuring leaders like Champai Soren and Babulal Marandi, prepares to challenge the ruling JMM in Jharkhand on November 13 and 20.
Speaking about his arrest, Soren characterised it as a "dark chapter in India's democracy," implying a potential political conspiracy. He further alleged the involvement of the Governor and Raj Bhavan in orchestrating his arrest.
Champai Soren, a senior leader in the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), previously held significant portfolios such as welfare and transport in the state. Soren is one of the founding members of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha along with Hemant Soren's father, Shibu Soren.
