‘The existence of tribals is in danger’
Talking to the media during the program on Friday after joining BJP, BJP leader and former CM Champai Soren said that I will work for the development of Jharkhand and we will stop infiltration from Bangladesh. Due to Bangladeshi infiltration, tribal villages are getting destroyed, the existence of tribals is in danger here. To save the tribals, we have to stay with BJP. He said that only BJP can raise the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration in India, so he has joined BJP to stop this infiltration in the state and protect the interests of the tribals.

These leaders welcomed Champai
Champai Soren joined BJP at an event in Ranchi. Champai Soren joined the party in presence of Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Jharkhand BJP president Babulal Marande and welcomed him by tying a patka. Champai Soren took over as Jharkhand Chief Minister on February 2 after Hemant Soren resigned from the post before being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case. Soren had to step down to bring him back to power after the latter got bail in the case in less than two months.
Will BJP benefit from Champai?
Champai Soren has left JMM and joined BJP at a time when elections for the 81-member assembly are to be held in the state later this year. In such a situation, it is being considered a big blow to JMM and a big advantage for BJP. Champai Soren is counted among the big leaders of the state and he has a hold in many assembly seats of the state. Champai Soren announced his decision to join BJP on August 27 for the welfare of tribals in the state.
