Amidst speculation, Soren arrived in Delhi, expressing dissatisfaction over his removal as chief minister.

Jharkhand BJP president Babulal Marandi on Monday clarified that no talks have been held with Champai Soren about his potential induction into the saffron party.

Marandi acknowledged that Champai, a seasoned politician, is capable of making his own decisions. The remarks come amid speculation spurred by Soren's sudden visit to Delhi on Sunday.

Champai Soren took to social media to reveal his 'bitter humiliation' as chief minister, feeling forced to seek new avenues. Marandi described Soren’s feelings as deeply hurt, reflecting on how he was ousted from his CM post. Soren indicated he had options ranging from retiring, creating a new outfit, or finding an ally.
