During the two-day central convention which concluded on Tuesday, Hemant Soren laid out a robust social justice agenda for the JMM, signalling the party’s intent to expand its influence beyond the state and declaring that “feudal forces” would no longer be allowed to exploit the state.Speaking at the party’s 13th Central Convention chaired by Shibu Soren, his son indicated that the party is ready to redefine its national role, buoyed by its strong performance in the 2024 assembly elections in the state.”The ‘Abua Sarkar’ (own JMM government) was formed because of the collective will of tribals, Dalits and other marginalised communities who rejected the BJP’s double-engine government in the 2019 Assembly polls.”This government belongs to the people. The feudal forces faced a crushing defeat at the hands of people here and now JMM, which emerged as a powerful force, will not allow them to plunder Jharkhand anymore,” he had said.He asserted that during his previous regime, the BJP hatched a number of conspiracies to uproot his democratically elected government but the the JMM government withstood “constant political pressure” and is committed to accord top priority to the welfare of its people.Reflecting on the state’s political journey since its formation in 2000, Soren accused previous governments of implementing policies that led to continued exploitation of tribals and farmers and said the party, which expanded its base to several states, will continue to grow.
