SHE TRIED TO COMMUNICAT­E THE BONDING OF HEMANT SOREN WITH SITA’S LATE HUSBAND, DURGA SOREN.

A day after JMM’s Jama legislator and former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren’s sister-in-law Sita Soren joined the BJP leaving her party and assembly membership, Hemant Soren’s wife posted an emotional message on X (formerly Twitter), sharing her feeling.

Through her message she attempted to communicat­e the bonding of Hemant Soren with his elder brother and Sita Soren’s late husband, Durga Soren. Through the message attempted to tell that Sita was never neglected by the party and Hemant’s entry into politics was the need of time not an attempt to neglect her.

“For Hemant ji, late Durga da was not only an elder brother but also a fatherly guardian. After becoming a part of this sacrificia­l family after marriage in 2006, I saw Hemant ji’s respect and dedication towards his elder brother and late Durga da’s love for Hemant ji,” the first paragraph of the message reads.

The message further reads, “Hemant ji did not want to enter politics but in view of the untimely death of Durga dada and the health of respected Baba ( Shibu Soren), he had to enter the field of politics. Hemant ji did not choose politics but politics chose Hemant ji. He, who had decided to become an architect, now had the responsibi­lity of carrying forward the legacy and struggle of JMM, respected Baba and Late Durga da.”

“Jharkhand Mukti Morcha was born from the coordinati­on of socialism and Leftist ideology. JMM is moving forward today in Jharkhand by becoming a reliable voice of all the poor, deprived and exploited including tribals, Dalits, backward classes and minorities. Today Hemant ji went to jail, fighting with the same forces as the struggles of respected Baba and Late Durga Da and the battle they had fought against the capitalist­s and feudalists. He did not bow down. He chose the path of struggle like a Jharkhandi. Anyway, our tribal society has never learned to move by turning its back, making compromise­s. It is not in Jharkhandi’s DNA to bow down,” the message further reads.

Kalpana’s message concludes with the words of struggle and her commitment to the well being of Jharkhand. “The truth is not us, the truth is not you, the truth is the continuous struggle...#Jharkhand_will_not_bow down,” the concluding line of her message reads.
