Tumkur: The news regarding Ramesh Jarkiholi is far from the truth. Getting disappointed during cabinet expansion is common. The party will convince him. Everything will be in normal condition within a week, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar said.

 Answering the queries of reporters in the city, he said that the senior, junior, everybody is capable of joining the cabinet. But this must be followed as per the decision of the high command. "Getting disappointed is common during cabinet expansion. Everyone has the desire to become a minister. Quitting party, for this reason, is far from the truth. I have spoken to some MLAs through telephone. No one has said anything about quitting the party," he said.

 Neither Krishna Bhairagowda nor I am responsible for skipping Ramalinga Reddy from getting a berth. The top brass makes every decision," Parameshwar clarified.

 "No MLA is leaving the party. Our government is secure. Post sharing will be completed within two days," he added.

Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.

However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.

Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.

Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
