Kalpana Murmu Soren, wife of jailed Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader and former Chief Minister Hemant Soren, on Monday officially entered politics by taking part in the 51st foundation day of the party, organised at Jhanda ground in Giridih district in the presence of Chief Minister Champai Soren.
On Sunday, she had posted a message on social media platform X, announcing her entry into public life. “On the demand of the people of Jharkhand and hard-working members of the JMM family, I am starting my public life from tomorrow. Until Hemant ji comes back among us, I will continue to be his voice and share his thoughts with you all and will continue to serve you,” Ms. Soren said in her post.
On the day of her debut in politics, Ms. Soren could not control her emotions, and broke down on the stage, while delivering her first political speech in front of hundreds of party workers. When she started wiping her tears, party workers on the stage shouted slogans, including “Jail ka tala tutega, Hemant Soren chutega“ (‘the jail’s lock will be broken and Hemant Soren will be released’).
