Hindu Editorial Vocab On Jharkhand Politics

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren’s exit from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) follows a familiar pattern. He was the trusted lieutenant who was hand-picked by party supremo Hemant Soren to be his placeholder in his absence. That act of high trust, or political gamble, soon deteriorated (to become worse) into a mismatch of expectations of loyalty and rewards from both sides. Champai has been a veteran of tribal mobilisation (the act of organizing or preparing something, such as a group of people, for a purpose) in Jharkhand and has played second fiddle to Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, the former and current Chief Ministers of the State, respectively, all his life. When Hemant resigned as the Chief Minister on January 31, 2024, minutes before he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on charges of corruption, Champai took over the reins. It was a bold and decent move on the part of Hemant to choose a party veteran instead of a family member, as it usually happens in such situations, but, perhaps, it was too good to last. As soon as he was released on bail in June by the High Court, after spending nearly five months in jail, Hemant wanted to be back in the saddle. Champai’s removal turned out to be abrupt, and he found it humiliating (making you feel ashamed or stupid) . He had wielded (to hold a weapon or tool and look as if you are going to use it) power as the chief executive for the first time and expected to be treated more respectfully by his leader.

The JMM, like most parties in India, is controlled by one leader or family, and there is little room for the separate ambitions (a strong wish to achieve something) of individual leaders. Champai himself has played that game for a long time, but after being the Chief Minister, he thought a tipping point had been reached. External factors too may have played a role in his decision. While Champai cried of “bitter humiliation” by Hemant, Hemant insinuated (to suggest, without being direct, that something unpleasant is true) that Champai was being lured by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP is pushing hard for a political return in Jharkhand where elections are due soon. Its strategy is to fragment (a small piece or a part, especially when broken from something whole) the tribal vote and consolidate (to become, or cause something to become, stronger, and more certain)the non-tribal vote in its favour while inciting resentment (to feel angry because you have been forced to accept someone or something that you do not like) among the tribal communities against Muslims. To this end, the BJP is arguing that in its absence, the State has undergone unchecked changes in its demography. And, as a counter, the JMM has questioned the BJP’s intent in delaying the 2021 Census, further putting the onus of checking “infiltrators” squarely on the Centre. Champai has not completely revealed his plans — he might float a party of his own or join the BJP. Either way, his role in the Assembly polls will likely work to the advantage of the BJP.
