Champai Soren played an active role in movement for creation of Jharkhand

Champai Soren, who is set to succeed Hemant Soren as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, is known for the active part he played in the movement for the creation of a separate State of Jharkhand.

The ruling alliance in the State elected Mr. Champai, 67, as its leader soon after a team of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials reached Mr. Hemant’s residence on Wednesday for questioning in an alleged land scam case.

Mr. Champai is the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLA from the Seraikela constituency. He has held the seat since 2005.
