Sita Soren, a Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLA and the sister-in-law of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has resigned from her party positions and the membership of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly. Following her resignation, she joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the party's headquarters in New Delhi, alongside her daughters. Sita Soren's departure from JMM and subsequent joining of BJP marks a significant political shift, coinciding with a crucial election year. Her decision has been described as 'painful' and a result of feeling sidelined within JMM, with allegations of being sidelined along with her family. The move has prompted reactions from various political figures, including JMM leader Mahua Maji, who expressed shock over Soren's resignation, and Congress leader Ajoy Kumar, who speculated that Soren might be under pressure from investigative agencies like the ED and CBI. BJP leaders have welcomed Soren's decision, with Jharkhand BJP chief Babulal Marandi stating that everyone is welcome in the party.
