Hemant Soren JMM News: As soon as Bihar elections are over, Jharkhand has come into focus. There has been an increase in turmoil in the politics of Jharkhand. Speculations about the alliance of Hemant Soren and BJP are intense. First Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s visit to Delhi with his wife Kalpana Soren and immediately after that the Governor’s meeting with Amit Shah… these do not seem to be mere coincidences. Timing has its own importance in politics. This is the reason why speculations about JMM-NDA alliance are hot in the political circles from the streets of Ranchi to the streets of Delhi. It is even being claimed that Hemant Soren himself is in touch with BJP. However, JMM has denied this claim. But the picture is still blurry. Nothing is permanent in politics. Who knows when the wheel of time will turn? That too at a time when JMM’s relations with RJD and Congress are not looking good.
Yes, the fear of a major political reshuffle in Jharkhand now seems to be turning into a possibility. The Grand Alliance suffered a crushing defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections. After this defeat, the foundation of India alliance seems to be shaking in Jharkhand also. Sources claim that GMM is not getting along with RJD and Congress. In such a situation, there is a possibility that a new alliance may be formed between Hemant Soren and BJP. Now the question is, how did the alliance between JMM and BJP rise? Will Hemant Soren’s JMM and BJP really form a new government together? After all, where did things go wrong in the India alliance, due to which these speculations got strengthened?
What is the story behind the speculations?
Let us understand this story behind the scenes. There are total 81 seats in Jharkhand Assembly. Support of 41 MLAs is necessary for majority. At present, in the ruling alliance, JMM has 34 MLAs, Congress 16, RJD 4 and Left parties 2, which makes the total figure of 56. But if a new equation of JMM and BJP plus alliance is formed then this figure directly reaches 58. Understand it like this. If JMM (34) joins BJP (21 seats), LJPR (1), AJSU (1) and JDU (1), the total will be 58 MLAs, which is well above the majority and 2 more than the India Alliance. Now the question is, what happened in the India alliance, that speculations about an alliance between Hemant Soren’s JMM and BJP started?

What is the reason for smoke rising?
- Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren are in Delhi for the last few days. Sources claim that Hemant Soren is in touch with top leaders of BJP.
- Here, on Tuesday, Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar met Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
- The timing of this meeting further fueled speculations of an alliance between JMM and BJP.
- Sources say that after Bihar elections, cracks are clearly visible in the India alliance.
- Hemant Soren is currently facing investigation by ED. He has also gone to jail in the land scam case and is currently on bail.
Where did things go wrong in the alliance in Jharkhand?
In the Bihar Assembly elections, Hemant Soren’s JMM had demanded 7 seats in the Grand Alliance. Hemant Soren wanted to field his candidate on the symbol of his party. But Tejashwi Yadav had rejected this demand. JMM wanted Chakai, Dhamdaha, Katoria, Pirpainti, Manihari, Jamui in Bihar along with 1 more seat in the border areas of Jharkhand and Bihar. But due to compulsion, the alliance broke in Bihar and JMM turned its back on the Grand Alliance in Bihar. Then JMM general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya had said that we will also review the alliance in the state because there has been betrayal every time. It is believed that since then the coalition government of Jharkhand had turned sour.
Hemant Soren’s visit to Delhi in Jharkhand has created a political stir.
Will the path of RJD-Congress be different from that of JMM?
According to information received from sources, there were many such occasions in Hemant Soren’s cabinet, when despite being present together in the cabinet hall and facing each other, Hemant Soren did not talk to the ministers of Congress and RJD. Not only this, in the past many programs have either been canceled or Hemant Soren has not attended them. Moreover, the absence of photographs of RJD and Congress in the appointment letter distribution program at Morabadi Maidan also gave further strength to the news of rift in the alliance. Also, RJD and Congress ministers were missing from a program in Dumka. From all these things it seems that it might have been played in Jharkhand.
5 questions and answers related to political turmoil in Jharkhand:
Why is there political turmoil in Jharkhand?
The political turmoil in Jharkhand has intensified mainly after the defeat of the Grand Alliance in the Bihar Assembly elections. The visit of Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren to Delhi has given rise to speculations. It is being claimed that he is in touch with senior BJP leaders. This is indicating a rift in the India alliance.
Why is Jharkhand’s politics in the headlines?
Hemant Soren’s visit to Delhi is the main reason. Hemant Soren is in Delhi with his wife Kalpana Soren for a few days. Although JMM has described it as a personal visit, sources say that the script of a new alliance is being written in Jharkhand. Meanwhile, Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar met Home Minister Amit Shah, which further strengthened the speculations.
Will Hemant Soren join hands with BJP?
Nothing can be said clearly on this yet, but sources say that JMM can form a new equation with BJP, which will take the total to 58 MLAs (JMM 34, BJP 21, others 3). However, JMM has denied these reports and said that Jharkhand will not bow down. Now it remains to be seen what happens next.
What does the current political equation say?
There are total 81 seats in Jharkhand Assembly, 41 are required for majority. The current India alliance has 34 MLAs of JMM, 16 of Congress, 4 of RJD and 2 of Left, a total of 56. If JMM goes with BJP, the new alliance (JMM 34 + BJP 21 + LJPR 1 + AJSU 1 + JDU 1) can touch the figure of 58, which is above the majority.
What will be the impact if alliance changes?
If Hemant Soren joins hands with BJP, there can be a change of power in Jharkhand, which will be a big blow for Congress and RJD. However, right now this is only speculation.
