Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has claimed that he will not leave politics and is considering launching a new political party. Soren, a decades-long member of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), declared his intentions following what he characterised as "humiliation" from JMM leaders.
Speaking from his native hamlet of Jhilingora in the Seraikela-Kharsawan area, Soren expressed displeasure that no one from JMM had contacted him. He spoke about his long struggle for a separate Jharkhand state under the leadership of JMM supremo Shibu Soren, reported PTI.
