Dec 29, 2021 Outlook Web Desk Soren said when people were forced to remain in the confines of their homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic it had become a challenge for a backward state like Jharkhand, from where a large number of labourers hail.
Aug 10, 2021 Outlook Web Desk On World Tribal Day, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said that the state government is providing farmers with machinery and farming equipment worth Rs 734 crores.
Reacting to the charge, Jharkhand BJP chief Deepak Prakash has dared the Soren government to arrest him within the next 24 hours.

Hailing from Alargo village in Bokaro district, Jagarnath Mahto passed Class 10 in 1995, with a second class division. However, he discontinued because of his political and social engagements.

In the just-conducted Assembly elections, the JMM-Congress-Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alliance triumphed over the BJP, winning 47 seats in the 81-member House.
With the Bihar elections scheduled next year, the disgruntled JD (U) is going to be a major headache for BJP, which cannot wish away a tall leader like Nitish Kumar.
'People are out in the streets protesting against the NRC and CAA. Why implement the law when we can’t afford such a situation?'
Soren has been projected as the chief ministerial candidate by the JMM, Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal(RJD) alliance.
When the BJP came to power at the Centre in 2014, it commanded just seven states. Riding on a Modi wave, the party had won as many as 21 states by 2018.
Soren is set to helm the government for the second time as he was projected as the CM candidate of the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance.
'This will be my defeat, not the Bharatiya Janata Party's,' said Raghubar Das.
Coming close on the heels of the Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections and months ahead of the Delhi assembly polls, the Jharkhand result has shown that the BJP’s cloak of electoral invincibility is slipping.
Political analysts say it took a while for Hemant Soren to come out of the shadows of his father, Shibu Soren.
Jharkhand is the fifth state -- after Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhatisgarh and Maharashtra in the last one year -- where the power has slipped out of its hands.
BJP’s focus on national issues like Article 370, Ram Mandir and Citizenship Act is not cutting ice with the voters – perhaps even backfiring.
The Shiv Sena also said the poll result trends show people are not buying BJP's politics based on sentimental issues like the NRC.

The pandemic has made it clear that virtual learning is here to stay. In the West, the big question is whether it will dilute the quality of the college experience and education. In India, which grapples with digital divide, the question remains whether this will reach most people at all.
