Uninformed and Unprepared
Champai Soren stated that while the Chief Minister has the right to call a meeting of MLAs, he was not informed of the agenda beforehand. During the meeting, he was unexpectedly asked to resign. Although surprised by the request, he stated that he did not cling to power and immediately tendered his resignation, but he admitted that the situation left him emotionally distressed due to the damage to his self-respect.

Resignation and Hemant Soren’s Return
On Wednesday, Champai Soren officially submitted his resignation to Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan, clearing the way for Hemant Soren to resume his role as Jharkhand’s Chief Minister for the third time. The decision for the leadership change was reached after INDIA alliance MLAs and leaders agreed on the replacement earlier in the day.
Feelings of Betrayal
In his post, Champai Soren further expressed that the events left him feeling as though he had “no existence in the party” to which he had devoted his entire life. He mentioned that there were several other “insulting events” that he chose not to detail. The culmination of these insults, he said, forced him to consider finding an alternative path in his political journey.
