Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLA Sita Soren, daughter-in-law of party founder Shibu Soren, has made headlines by resigning from the party and joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This move comes after a decade-long period of dissatisfaction within the Soren family and the JMM. Sita’s dissent began after the untimely demise of her husband, Durga Soren, seen as the heir apparent of the party. Despite being sidelined by the party and family, Sita continued to voice her opposition, culminating in her decision to part ways with the JMM and align with the BJP ahead of the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Sita Soren’s departure from the JMM marks a significant shift in Jharkhand’s political landscape. Her decision to join the BJP, a party her late husband helped nurture, underscores the changing dynamics within the state’s political arena. With Sita’s defection, the BJP aims to bolster its electoral prospects in Jharkhand, while Sita seeks a fresh start away from the party that she once served for over a decade.
However, Sita Soren’s journey is not without its challenges. She awaits judgment in a bribery case, adding a layer of complexity to her political transition. Despite this, her move to the BJP signals a new chapter in her political career and sets the stage for heightened political intrigue in Jharkhand in the lead-up to the upcoming polls.
