Legislators Sita Soren and Lobin Hembron were formally expelled by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Friday for their anti-party activities. The expulsion was for a period of six years.
Shibu Soren, the president of JMM, has an eldest daughter-in-law named Sita. Sita, a three-term member from Jama, quit the party on March 19 and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that her spouse, Kalpana Soren, the wife of the previous chief minister Hemant Soren, was receiving promotions and that she was being ignored in her own party.
At the time, the JMM had declined to comment on her resignation.The BJP has fielded Sita from the Dumka Lok Sabha seat, which is thought to be the JMM's bastion and has been represented by Shibu Soren in the Parliament on eight occasions, in place of its current MP, Sunil Soren.
You made unfounded accusations against senior party leadership in a resignation letter that you wrote on March 19. Afterwards, it was discovered via a number of channels that you had submitted a nomination for the Dumka Lok Sabha constituency. The two events demonstrate that you fabricated unfounded accusations to support your prearranged decision to run for the Lok Sabha. Shibu Soren's letter stated, "As a result, you are being relieved of all posts and your primary membership in the party is being suspended for six years."
In addition to Sita Soren, the party on Friday also suspended Lobin Hembron, a three-term Borio lawmaker running as an Independent for the Rajmahal parliamentary seat. Hembron criticized the JMM's decision to grant Rajmahal ticket to two-term sitting MP Vijay Hansdak on several platforms.
In addition to confusing party employees, you have violated the coalition dharma principle by submitting an independent nomination. Accordingly, you are being removed from all positions and barred from the party's primary membership for a period of six years, according to a letter sent by party leader Shibu Soren.
Hembron is the second incumbent MLA to be suspended from the party for standing as an independent against candidates from the INDIA bloc, following Chamra Linda of Bishunpur. Linda ran as an independent in the Lohardaga seat against Sukhdeo Bhagat, a candidate for Congress.
In addition to the two lawmakers in office, the party has suspended two previous members of parliament for becoming rebels during the current legislative elections. The party suspended former lawmaker Basant Lounga of Torpa for running as an independent from the Khunti parliamentary seat and former Gandey MLA JP Verma for running as an independent from Koderma.
Sita Soren declared in April that the state's populace supported her and that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, which is now in power, had a bleak future. "The people of Jharkhand were already standing behind me with the dreams of Durga Soren," Soren stated to a news source. I am confident that those with whom we are standing are still with us right now.
