Nishikant Dubey(Member of the Lok Sabha) claims Hemant Soren’s wife might become Jharkhand CM after Soren called his allied MLAs to Ranchi after ED raids. Dubey criticises Soren, saying he’s avoiding an ED investigation. Soren’s sudden Delhi trip aligns with ED summons for money laundering probe, prompting speculation.

Allegedly, Soren plans to reach Ranchi fearing ED scrutiny, hinting at Kalpana Soren as potential CM. Soren’s visit disrupts his scheduled events, but his office remains silent on the purpose. ED had earlier questioned Soren under PMLA, and fresh summons indicate incomplete inquiry. The investigation involves a mafia-driven illegal land ownership change in Jharkhand, leading to 14 arrests, including an IAS officer. Soren’s actions and ED’s involvement raise questions about governance and potential leadership change in Jharkhand.
