If JMM, which politicizes tribals, does not support Draupadi Murmu, then she will be accused of opposing the country’s first tribal woman presidential candidate.
Jharkhand (Jharkhand) Former Governor Draupadi Murmu has been declared the NDA’s presidential candidate. Draupadi Murmu comes from tribal society and Jharkhand is also a tribal-dominated state. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha ie JMM, which is in power in the state, also does politics of tribals. The corvote bank of the party is also tribal. Party’s Sarvasarva Shibu Soren and Chief Minister Hemant Soren belong to tribal society.
In fact, Chief Minister Hemant Soren is running the government in collaboration with the UPA. The Hemant Soren government includes ministers from both Congress and RJD parties. In front of Draupadi Murmu, the opposition has made Yashwant Sinha its presidential candidate. Sinha’s name was proposed by the TMC, but he also has the support of Congress and RJD.
What is the problem in front of Soren?
This fight for Delhi’s Raisina Hills has put Hemant Sorene in a religious crisis. Obviously, Jharkhand’s main opposition party BJP will not leave this opportunity under any circumstances. BJP will accuse Hemant Soren of sacrificing tribal interests for power. On the other hand, there is pressure on JMM to follow coalition religion. If Sorene supports BJP or NDA candidate Murmu, then power partners Congress and RJD may get angry.
Hemant, who is running a coalition government in the state, cannot even take the risk, because the displeasure of fellow parties can affect the stability of his government. The Election Commission is investigating against Hemant Soren in the case of mine allocation. Due to this investigation, his Chief Minister’s chair may also come under fire. Once the Election Commission gives any decision against Hemant Soren, then Congress and RJD can entangle the screw in the formation of the new government.
To whom yes, to whom not?
Hemant Soren’s dilemma can be gauged from the fact that even on the second day of the announcement of Draupadi Murmu’s candidature, no party leader has issued a statement on this. Even the official Twitter handle of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Chief Minister Nothing has been written on this from the Twitter handle of any minister including Hemant Soren. However, there is one more thing here. The party has not said anything on the candidature of opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha. Yashwant Sinha is also related to Jharkhand, Sinha has been MP from Hazaribagh seat many times and currently his son Jayant Sinha is MP from Hazaribagh on BJP ticket.
From this it can be understood that how Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is in a dilemma regarding the presidential election. Those who understand the politics of Jharkhand believe that both the opposition and support of Draupadi Murmu for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha can create a situation in front and a gap in the back.
Why is Draupadi Murmu important?
Now the question arises as to why Presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu has become important in the politics of Jharkhand. Actually Draupadi Murmu belongs to the Santhal tribal society. This society is spread in many districts of Orissa, Jharkhand, West Bengal. Before independence, this entire area was called Santhal Pargana. A large part of Santhal Pargana is also in Jharkhand. Draupadi has been the first tribal woman governor of the country. The Modi government at the Center had made Murmu the governor of Jharkhand and now the BJP wants to make him the country’s first tribal president.
About 26 percent of the population of Jharkhand is from tribal society. Now if the party fighting for the tribals opposes Draupadi Murmu, then how will its core voters explain the reason behind it. Whereas if the opposition candidate votes against Yashwant Sinha So, how will the coalition partner convince the Congress. At present, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has not opened its cards, but eventually it will have to choose its own path.
