Soren, who earlier defected to the BJP due to alleged insults from his previous party, filed from Saraikela, setting the stage for a contest in one of the 43 constituencies voting on November 13.
As Champai Soren touts a favorable BJP wave, Mahendra Singh Dhoni will join the Election Commission's SVEEP for voter encouragement, signalling a strategic blend of politics and cricket.
