Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader and Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has coined the phrase that BJP has left behind him seven Chief Ministers and one Prime Minister himself. However, out of the seven names he takes, six are former Chief Ministers. Still, Hemant’s team has coined catchphrases that have caught people’s fancy. Like seven chief ministers or Hemant versus Himanta. It is noteworthy that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is co-in-charge of elections in Jharkhand. Election in-charge is Shivraj Singh Chauhan but actually Himanta Sarma is holding the command. That’s why Hemant told him about his competition.
The Chief Ministers or former Chief Ministers that Hemant Soren is talking about also include former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chauhan, who is currently the minister of two huge ministries like Agriculture and Rural Development in the Central Government. Apart from him, five former Chief Ministers are from Jharkhand. The first Chief Minister of BJP in Jharkhand was Babulal Marandi, who is currently the state president. The second Chief Minister was Arjun Munda, who is currently one of the prominent leaders of the BJP. The third Chief Minister of the BJP was Raghubar Das, who is currently the Governor of Odisha. Hemant Soren says that Raj Bhavan of Odisha has also become a center of elections in Jharkhand. Apart from these three, two former Chief Ministers have been brought from other parties. JMM’s former Chief Minister Champai Soren and independent Chief Minister Madhu Koda are also now in BJP. In this way, six former Chief Ministers and one Chief Minister are active against Hemant in the Jharkhand elections. Apart from these, Chief Ministers of Odisha, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are also campaigning in Jharkhand.
