Hemant Soren is set to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand on November 26, marking the start of his new term in office. The swearing-in ceremony, expected to be held in Ranchi, is likely to see attendance from prominent political leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, according to sources.
Soren’s oath-taking comes after securing a fresh mandate to lead the state. The ceremony is expected to showcase a show of strength and unity among opposition leaders, with high-profile attendees likely to underscore the importance of regional alliances ahead of the 2024 general elections.
This will be Soren’s second consecutive term as Chief Minister, further solidifying his role as a key political figure in Jharkhand. Preparations for the event are reportedly underway, with tight security arrangements expected for the high-profile gathering.
Rahul Gandhi’s participation signals the Congress party’s support for Soren’s leadership, as the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) continues its coalition partnership with the Congress in the state. Mamata Banerjee’s presence will also underline growing camaraderie among opposition parties as they aim to forge stronger alliances against the BJP-led central government.
