Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren is making headlines as he extends his lead to 12,818 votes against BJP's Gamliyel Hembrom in the Barhait assembly constituency, according to data from the Election Commission.

Soren, who won significant victories in both Barhait and Dumka in 2019, has maintained a dominant presence in Jharkhand politics despite various challenges. After briefly vacating the Dumka seat for his brother, he returned to political leadership, responding to setbacks including a resignation linked to legal troubles.

Meanwhile, his wife Kalpana Soren is contending for the Gandey assembly seat, trailing behind BJP's Muniya Devi. The political scenario in Jharkhand sees the JMM, Congress, RJD, and CPI(ML) Liberation combining forces in the INDIA bloc, posing a collective challenge to BJP dominance.
