The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) is facing significant challenges as it mourns the recent death of Ramdas Soren, the state’s Education Minister. Soren’s passing has left a void in the leadership of the Kolhan region. This loss, combined with the earlier passing of Shibu Soren, has created a period of mourning and political uncertainty for the party. The Kolhan area, which includes East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Kharsawan, has been a key area of influence for the JMM, and the loss of these prominent figures raises questions about the party’s future in the region. The death of Jagannath Mahto, known as ‘Tiger’, in April 2023, was another significant blow to the party. The JMM will now need to find a way to maintain its strength and influence in this crucial area.
