Ranchi: Despite the allegations and the intensified efforts to arrest Hemant Soren, there is currently no indication of the Jharkhand government collapsing. Even if Hemant Soren were to be arrested, it is unlikely to result in the downfall of the government. The political landscape in Jharkhand is undergoing significant changes following recent upheavals. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is actively searching for the Chief Minister, who is reported to have been in Delhi for the past two days. Although Hemant Soren's exact location has been elusive, the ED has gained information about it and is making efforts to apprehend him swiftly. The momentum for Hemant Soren's arrest is high, but it is not anticipated to lead to the government's demise in Jharkhand.
As per expert opinions, Hemant Soren is reportedly residing in Delhi, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) teams are actively searching for him in the capital. Despite receiving summons from the ED on ten occasions, Hemant Soren has consistently failed to respond. The ED team, accompanied by his driver Ravindra, is conducting the search starting from his private residence. The potential arrest of Hemant Soren has sparked significant discussions amidst political activities.
In the midst of these developments, there are speculations about appointing Hemant Soren's wife, Kalpana Soren, as the Chief Minister in the event of his arrest. Some political analysts suggest that if Hemant Soren is apprehended, Kalpana Soren could likely assume his position. The repeated issuance of summons by the ED, related to land scam allegations against Hemant Soren, has not yielded any response from him. Despite this, he has directly headed to Delhi, seemingly to evade the ED's grasp.
The news of Hemant Soren's potential arrest in Jharkhand has stirred political upheaval. Political parties are engaging in discussions, contemplating the possibility of forming a government in Jharkhand following a pattern similar to the one observed in Bihar under the leadership of Lalu Prasad Yadav.
