On Thursday, November 28, Hemant Soren will be sworn in as Jharkhand's 14th chief minister in an extravagant event at Ranchi's Morabadi Ground. Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar will deliver the oath to Hemant Soren at 4 p.m. Hemant Soren would take the oath by himself, according to Congress general secretary and Jharkhand in-charge Ghulam Ahmad Mir, who also stated that he would enlarge his cabinet following an assembly vote of confidence.
Political leaders that are likely to attend the oath-taking ceremony of Hemant Soren are:
- Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge
- Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
- NCP(SP) chief Sharad Pawar
- West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee
- Meghalaya chief minister Conrad Sangma
- Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann
- Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu
- CPI(ML) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya
- AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal
- Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray
- Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav
- PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti
- Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin
- Karnataka deputy CM DK Shivakumar
- Bihar’s LoP Tejashwi Yadav
The JMM-led coalition, which includes Congress, RJD, and CPI-ML, dominated the elections, claiming 34 seats for the JMM, 16 for Congress, and others for its allies. Hemant Soren, representing the Barhait constituency, emerged victorious by a significant margin. His leadership has been lauded for expanding the coalition’s reach and addressing tribal welfare concerns, critical factors in this electoral success.
This victory marks a dramatic turnaround for Hemant Soren, who earlier faced corruption allegations linked to mining leases. After stepping down and briefly facing imprisonment, Soren returned to rally his party and alliance, delivering a strong electoral mandate. His coalition's narrative of inclusive development overshadowed the BJP's campaign efforts, particularly in tribal-dominated areas.
The event at Morabadi Maidan will not only celebrate Soren’s political resilience but also signal the INDIA bloc’s readiness for upcoming national political challenges
