New Delhi. The way has been cleared for former Jharkhand Chief Minister and senior Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Champai Soren to join the BJP.

He will officially join BJP in Ranchi on August 30.”
Champai Soren’s son Babulal Soren was also present during the meeting with Shah in Delhi. This has also confirmed that Babulal Soren will also join the BJP. There is also talk of him contesting the assembly elections on a BJP ticket. Champai Soren will return to Jharkhand from Delhi on Tuesday. It is being said that he will resign from JMM and Hemant Cabinet on Wednesday i.e. 28 August and will join the BJP on 30 August.
