Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren has recently expanded his cabinet, with Governor C.P. Radhakrishnan administering the oath to eight new Cabinet Ministers in a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan in Ranchi. This expansion includes five ministers from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) - Mithilesh Kumar Thakur, Hafizul Hasan, Bebi Devi, Deepak Birua, and Basant Soren, the brother of former CM Hemant Soren, and three from the Congress party, including Rameshwar Oraon and Banna Gupta. CM Soren retained significant departments including the Department of Personnel, Administrative Reforms & Rajbhasha, Department of Home, Department of Cabinet Secretariat, and Vigilance. Rameshwar Oraon from Congress has been assigned the Finance Department and Department of Commercial Taxes, while Banna Gupta has received the Health Department. The cabinet expansion has led to a series of meetings in Delhi, involving Jharkhand CM Champai Soren, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, and other Congress MLAs to discuss internal party matters and the political scenario in Jharkhand. This comes amid allegations from former CM Hemant Soren regarding the governor's involvement in his arrest, which Governor CP Radhakrishnan has denied, calling them "false allegations."
