The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) is grappling with the loss of Ramdas Soren, the Education Minister, who recently passed away in Delhi. This marks the second significant loss for the party in a short period, following the death of Shibu Soren. The passing of Ramdas Soren has raised concerns about the future of JMM’s influence in the Kolhan region, encompassing East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, and Saraikela-Kharsawan. The JMM has historically maintained a strong presence in this area. The death of Jagannath Mahto in April 2023 was another significant blow to the JMM. The party must now navigate these challenging circumstances and determine who will take charge. Despite the presence of several leaders, the question of who will lead Kolhan remains unanswered.
