Kejriwal offers support to wife of jailed ex-Jharkhand CM

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had a telephonic conversation with Kalpana Murmu Soren, the wife of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, on Sunday and extended his support.
Kalpana Soren, in a post on X from Hemant Soren’s handle, expressed her gratitude to the Delhi CM for his support of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and the Soren family.
“Today I had a phone conversation with the Honourable Chief Minister of Delhi, Shri @ArvindKejriwal. Thanks to Arvind ji that at this time he is with Jharkhandi warrior Hemant ji and the JMM family,” she said in a post on X in Hindi.
She also hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of “sabotaging” democracy in Jharkhand, Delhi, and other states ruled by any non-BJP government.
“Today, the entire country is watching the conspiracy of the Central Government and the BJP. Everyone is upset to see how democracy is being sabotaged in Jharkhand as well as Delhi and other non-BJP-ruled states. We have to together fight this conspiracy of the Central Government and BJP,” Kalpana added.
JMM executive president Hemant Soren was arrested by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam on January 31, shortly after he resigned as the chief minister.
JMM legislature party leader Champai Soren took oath as the chief minister of Jharkhand on February 2, after his predecessor Hemant Soren’s arrest. The new Champai Soren government won the trust vote on the floor of the Jharkhand Assembly. Forty-seven Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance legislators voted for the motion and 29 against the motion.
