Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren — currently a minister in the JMM government — is slated to join the BJP on Friday. The senior tribal leader met with Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi earlier this week along with his son Babulal Soren.
“We don’t have the next plan yet. On the August 30 I will join the Bharatiya Janata Party. It is the biggest party in the country. Whatever role the party will give me, I will do it,” he assured.
The former CM insisted that he was joining the saffron party in order to “develop this state” and “save the existence of tribals”. Soren also made it clear that he was not afraid of any situation.
“We will take steps to help the people of Jharkhand, along with the development of the tribals, which is in danger due to Bangladeshi infiltration. I have moved ahead by struggling all the time,” he added.
