Today marks the 51st anniversary of the prominent political party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). On this special day, Kalpana Soren, wife of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, is poised to launch her political journey. At a gathering in Giridih today, Kalpana is set to commence her political career. It's noteworthy that JMM was founded on February 4, 1973.

JMM has chosen this momentous day to induct Kalpana Soren into the party. The party is observing its 51st foundation anniversary as a day of protest. Kalpana sought blessings from her father-in-law and JMM president Shibu Soren and mother-in-law Roopi Soren a day before joining the party. She also visited her husband Hemant Soren, who is currently in prison.

Visit to Hemant Soren in Prison

In fact, just a day earlier, on March 3, Kalpana Soren celebrated her birthday. During this, she expressed on social media platform X, 'Before my birthday today and joining tomorrow's JMM foundation day event in Giridih, I sought blessings from the creator of Jharkhand state and respected JMM president Baba Dishom Guruji and mother. Met Hemant Ji this morning as well.'

Shared Thoughts on Social Media

She further wrote, 'My father served in the Indian Army. He's retired now. As a soldier, he bravely confronted the enemies of the country. From an early age, he taught me to fight and struggle for the truth without fear. On the demand of countless hardworking activists of Jharkhand and the JMM family, I am starting my public life from tomorrow. Until Hemant Ji is with us all, I will share his thoughts with you all, serve you as his voice. I trust that the love and blessings you gave to your son and brother Hemant Ji, you will extend the same to me, Hemant Ji's life partner.'

Kalpana's Educational Background

Kalpana cited public demand as the reason behind her decision to enter politics. It's essential to note that Hemant Soren's wife Kalpana holds an M.Tech and an MBA from Bhubaneswar. She completed her education in Baripada, Odisha. Notably, JMM's executive president Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 31 in connection with a land scam and money laundering case. During this period, Hemant Soren resigned from the Chief Minister's seat.
