New Delhi, 19 March
JMM legislator Sita Soren, the
sister-in-law of former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, joined the BJP
on Tuesday.
She quit the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
(JMM) hours before joining the BJP, claiming that she was being neglected and
isolated in the state's ruling party.
Soren joined the BJP in the
presence of its national general secretary Vinod Tawde and Jharkhand poll
in-charge Laxmikant Bajpai at its headquarters here.
The three-term MLA's decision to
join the BJP is a shot in the arm for the party's efforts to boost its connect
with the Scheduled Tribes, a community which has been the main vote base of the
JMM.
