Serving as the National General Secretary of JMM at the time of resignation, Sita Soren was first elected in 2009 as the MLA from Jama; from here, Soren won the Jharkhand Legislative Elections for two additional terms in 2014 and 2019.
Sita Soren was recently in the news when there were reports that upon his resignation, Hemant Soren might make his wife, Kalpana Soren the Jharkhand CM. Opposing this openly, Sita Soren said, “I will strongly protest any move to make her CM. I would like to ask why only Kalpana Soren, who is not even an MLA and has no political experience… under what circumstances is her name being touted as the next chief minister when there are so many senior leaders in the party.”
She further said, “There are several senior leaders who could be given the reins of the party. If they want to elect from the family, I am the senior-most in the House and have been an MLA for around 14 years.”
Why Did Sita Soren Resign From Jharkhand Mukti Morcha?
Speaking about the reason why Sita Soren resigned from JMM, in her resignation letter she said, “I served the party for 14 years, but to date, I have not received the respect that I should have received in those 14 years, due to which I had to take this very big decision for respect of hard work made by my late husband Durgashwar ji…we have remained untouched till date, we have not received any respect from any kind of party.” She further said, “I had to take this decision today and the way we saw from Prime Minister Narendra Modi is touring entire India, India’s name is becoming popular in foreign countries also, so considering this, I have trust and faith in JP Nadda ji, Amit Shah ji, Devendra Fernand ji, I will get support from them and we have to save Jharkhand.”
