Former Jharkhand chief minister and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader, Champai Soren on Wednesday, August 21, announced his decision to float a new political front after his return from Delhi to his hometown of Seraikela Kharsawan.

Soren’s visit to Delhi had sparked speculation that he may join the Bharatiya



Janata Party (BJP).

“I had mentioned three options – retirement, organisation, or friend. I will not retire; I will strengthen the party, a new party, and if I meet a good friend on the way, then will move ahead with them,” Champai Soren announced speaking to reporters, leaving open the possibility of future alliances.
