BJP leader Babulal Marandi claimed this marked the beginning of JMM's downfall, suggesting the party had strayed from its ideological roots. Champai Soren's account of his removal as CM includes abruptly cancelled government events and exclusion from party meetings, which deeply hurt his self-respect.

Champai Soren announced that his tenure as chief minister had benefited various societal groups. He stressed that this was a personal battle and not intended to harm the party, which he claimed had been nurtured with 'blood and sweat'.

Party senior leader Mithilesh Thakur assured that internal issues would be resolved within the JMM family.
