Jharkhand News / I was insulted while I was the CM... Champai Soren's pain spilled out

Jharkhand News: Amid political speculations in Jharkhand, a big statement by former Chief Minister Champai Soren has come to the fore. Amid speculations of joining BJP, JMM leader Champai Soren has said that all options are open for me. I was insulted while being the Chief Minister of Jharkhand. In the meeting of the Legislature Party itself, I had said with a heavy heart that a new chapter of my life is going to start from today. In this, I had three options. First, to retire from politics, second, to form my own separate organization and third, if I find a partner on this path, then to travel further with him.

Posting one after the other on social media, Champai Soren said that from raising the voice of workers against industrial houses at the beginning of my public life to the Jharkhand movement, I have always done politics of public concern. I have been trying to get the rights of tribals, natives, poor, laborers. I have been available to the public at every moment. Who had dreamed of their better future with the state of Jharkhand.

The public will evaluate my work

The former CM further said that after unprecedented developments, on January 31, I was chosen to serve the state as the 12th Chief Minister of Jharkhand. From the first day of my tenure to the last day (July 3), I discharged my duties with full devotion. We took many decisions in public interest, always remained available for everyone. The public will evaluate the work I have done during my tenure as CM.

Major allegations against the party high command

Champai Soren said that every child of Jharkhand knows that during my tenure, I never did anything wrong to anyone, nor allowed it to happen. When I got power, I took a pledge to serve the state by paying homage to heroes like Baba Tilka Manjhi, Bhagwan Birsa Munda and Sido-Kanhu.

Meanwhile, the day after Hul Diwas, I came to know that all my programs for the next two days have been postponed by the party leadership. One of these was a public program in Dumka, while the other program was to distribute appointment letters to PGT teachers. On asking, it was found that the coalition has called a meeting of the legislative party on July 3, till then you cannot attend any program as CM.

'Despite drinking a bitter sip, I...'

He said that can there be anything more humiliating for a CM in democracy than someone else getting the program postponed? Despite drinking this bitter sip of insult, I said that the appointment letter distribution is in the morning, while the meeting of the legislative party will be held in the afternoon, so I will join it from there, but I was clearly refused from there.

Champai said - for the first time I broke down from within

The former minister said that in my impeccable political journey of the last four decades, for the first time, I broke down from within. I could not understand what to do. For two days, I sat quietly and introspected, kept looking for my mistake in the entire incident. There was not even an iota of greed for power, but to whom would I show this blow to my self-respect? Where would I express the pain given by my own people?

‘I was forced to look for an alternative way’

He said that after getting emotional due to the insulting behaviour, I was trying to control myself, but someone was only interested in the chair. I felt as if I had no existence, no existence in that party for which I had dedicated my whole life. In the meantime, many such insulting incidents happened, which I do not want to mention at the moment. After so much insult and contempt, I was forced to look for an alternative way.

"Some other person gets CM's programs cancelled"

He said, "The day after Hul Diwas, I came to know that all my programs for the next two days have been postponed by the party leadership. One of these was a public program in Dumka, while the other program was to distribute appointment letters to PGT teachers. On asking, I came to know that the coalition has called a meeting of the legislative party on July 3, till then you cannot attend any program as CM. Can there be anything more humiliating in democracy than someone else getting a Chief Minister's programs cancelled? Despite swallowing this bitter insult, I said that the appointment letter distribution is in the morning, while the legislative party meeting will be in the afternoon, so I will join it from there. But, I was clearly refused from there."

"I kept looking for my fault in the entire incident"

Champai Soren said, "In my spotless political journey of the last four decades, I was broken from within for the first time. I could not understand what to do. For two days I sat quietly and introspected, kept looking for my fault in the entire incident. I did not have the slightest greed for power, but to whom would I show this blow to my self-respect? Where would I express the pain caused by my own people? When the party's central executive meeting has not been held for years and one-sided orders are passed, then whom would I go to and tell my pain? In this party, I am counted among the senior members, the rest are junior and the supremo who is senior to me is no longer active in politics due to health, then what option did I have? If he had been active, perhaps the situation would have been different." Champai Soren said- I had three options

जोहार साथियों,

आज समाचार देखने के बाद, आप सभी के मन में कई सवाल उमड़ रहे होंगे। आखिर ऐसा क्या हुआ, जिसने कोल्हान के एक छोटे से गांव में रहने वाले एक गरीब किसान के बेटे को इस मोड़ पर लाकर खड़ा कर दिया।

अपने सार्वजनिक जीवन की शुरुआत में औद्योगिक घरानों के खिलाफ मजदूरों की आवाज…

He said, "The Chief Minister has the right to call a meeting of the legislative party, but I was not even told the agenda of the meeting. During the meeting, I was asked to resign. I was surprised, but I had no desire for power, so I immediately resigned, but my heart was emotional due to the blow to my self-respect." He said, "With a heavy heart, I said in the same meeting of the legislative party that a new chapter of my life is going to start from today." He said, "I had three options in this. First- to retire from politics, second- to form my own separate organization and third- if I find a partner on this path, then to travel further with him. From that day till today and till the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections, all options are open for me in this journey."
