Champai Soren, who left JMM, joins BJP, says 'We will stop infiltration from Bangladesh'
Soon after joining BJP, Champai Soren said, "I will work for the development of Jharkhand and we will stop infiltration from Bangladesh. I will fulfil whatever responsibilities the party will assign me."
In a letter to party supremo Shibu Soren, the senior tribal leader said he was forced to quit after being aggrieved by the present style of functioning of the JMM and its policies. "I have never ever imagined in my dreams that I would quit JMM, a party which is like a family to me... The turn of events of the past forced me to take this decision with much pain... I am pained to say that the party has deviated from its principle," he said in the letter. He lamented that there is no forum in the party left to express one's pain and "you (Shibu Soren) are not active in politics due to ill health but you will continue to be my guide," he said.
Champai Soren became the chief minister of Jharkhand on February 2, shortly after Hemant Soren resigned as the CM following his arrest by the ED in a money laundering case. Champai quit the post and Hemant took oath as the CM again in July, after he was released on bail.
