Kalpana Soren, wife of Hemant Soren
Kalpana Soren also played an important role in this victory… As Congress chief Ghulam Ahmed Mir United News after Ranchi election results When these words were spoken at the press conference, everyone present began to applaud. While Hemant Soren was engrossed in celebrating the victory, Kalpana was also applauded. After the victory, Hemant also took to social media to describe Kalpana as a star activist.
Jharkhand political pundits are now discussing Kalpana’s new role. Kalpana has emerged as an important factor in the Jharkhand elections. Kalpana’s role is considered crucial for the victory of the Mukti Morcha alliance in Jharkhand.
Kalpana addressed more than 100 rallies throughout the assembly elections. Kalpana is said to have consolidated her vote bank through Mainiyan Samman Yatra and tribal identity and all the strategies of the BJP were in vain.
What is the political future of Kalpana?
1. Fewer opportunities to enter government – Jharkhand Mukti Morcha won 34 seats. Congress won 16, RJD won 4 and MLAs 2. A total of 12 ministers can be appointed in Jharkhand. Ever since Hemant Soren took charge, he has strictly followed a formula.
Only one member of the Sauron family entered the government. When Hemant was jailed and Champai became chief minister, Basant was made a minister, but when Hemant became chief minister again, Basant was removed from the cabinet.
In this case, there was less scope for Kalpana to get a place in Hemant’s cabinet. Even looking at the regional and caste equations, Kalpana found it difficult to get a seat in the government.
2. Able to obtain high positions in the organization—— Currently, in the organization of JMM, Shibu Soren serves as the national president and Hemant Soren serves as the working president. After that, there are also the positions of deputy chairman and general secretary of the party. Heb Solon served as president of the country only figuratively. Hemant takes care of all the work himself.
There are discussions within JMM to give Kalpana a bigger role in the organization. It is said that if Hemant becomes chief minister, he can hand over the responsibility of JMM working president to Kalpana. At the local level, the party only has veteran cadres.
Kalpana also attracts women in a new way. For the first time, Jharkhand is treating women as a separate vote bank. In this case, Kalpana can be sent to the Hemant organization for the sake of simplicity.
3. A scene in JMM is also – Kalpana Soren was elected as MLA from Gandi seat. It is said that he can continue to work as a judicial assistant and receive training related to administrative work during this period.
Kalpana was a complete novice when Hemant was jailed in January this year, so Champai Soren had to hand over the chief minister’s post. It is said that within JMM, Hemant is preparing Kalpana for such emergencies.
Imagination shines in posters of JMM leaders
Kalpana Soren featured on posters of JMM leaders after Jharkhand Mukti Morcha victory. The posters of all the leaders also feature pictures of Kalpana with Shibu Soren and Hemant Soren. When Hemant held his victory press conference in Ranchi, Kalpana sat in the seat next to him.
Earlier, Kalpana was only seen in the rear or side seats. Kalpana is said to have become very powerful within the JMM after the election results.
Kalpana starts discussions in January 2024
Kalpana Soren first came into limelight on January 31, 2024, when the Enforcement Directorate arrested Hemant Soren. By then, Kalpana had delivered emergency room medicines and food to her husband, Hemant. After Hemant was jailed, Kalpana entered the field.
Kalpana made jail an issue in the Lok Sabha elections. Throughout the election, he gave victory slogans as the answer to jail time. Kalpana’s initiative bore fruit and the JMM alliance unilaterally won tribal seats.
Hemant used Kalpana to help women during the assembly elections. This strategy of Hemant also worked.
