Chandigarh, February 7

Kalpana Soren, wife of former Chief Minister of Jharkhand Hemant Soren, put out a heartfelt note this morning to mark their 18th wedding anniversary.

“Hemant ji did not accept to bow down to protect the existence and identity of Jharkhand. He thought it was better to fight the conspiracy and dedicate himself to defeating it. Today is our 18th wedding anniversary, but Hemant ji is not among the family. Are not with children. We believe that he will defeat this conspiracy and become the winner and join us all soon. I am the life partner of a brave Jharkhandi warrior. I will not be emotional today. Like Hemant ji, I will smile even in difficult circumstances and become his strength of courage and struggle,” Kalpana Murmu Soren wrote.

झारखण्ड के अस्तित्व और अस्मिता की रक्षा के लिए हेमन्त जी ने झुकना स्वीकार नहीं किया। उन्होंने षड्यंत्र से लड़ना और उसे हराने के लिए अपने आप को समर्पित करना बेहतर समझा।

आज हमारी शादी की 18वीं सालगिरह है, पर हेमन्त जी परिवार के बीच नहीं हैं। बच्चों के साथ नहीं हैं। विश्वास है वो… pic.twitter.com/aBnXEugVkB

After the ruling JMM-led alliance proved its majority on February 5 and her husband made a fiery speech in the Jharkhand Assembly, Kalpana Soren had taken to X to announce that the "fight against injustice and oppression will continue".

Kalpana Soren, who was previously considered a frontrunner for the position of chief minister but faced opposition from Sita Soren, the elder daughter-in-law of Shibu Soren, had said, "I have fought, and I will continue to fight! We have won, and we will win!"

She had posted, "Until Jharkhand warrior (Hemant Soren) defeats the conspiracy of the Centre and the BJP and joins us, I will manage his account. Our brave forefathers fought against injustice and oppression, and now the time has come again. May your love and blessings remain the same." The JMM-led coalition government led by Chief Minister Champai Soren comfortably won the vote of confidence on Monday with 47 MLAs voting in favour and 29 legislators opposing it in the 81-member assembly.

Independent legislator Saryu Roy abstained from the trust vote.

Kalpana Soren, a homemaker with MTech and MBA qualifications, completed her school education in Baripada in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district and obtained her engineering and MBA degrees from separate institutions in Bhubaneswar.

Shortly after the JMM-led alliance won the confidence motion, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met Kalpana Soren at her residence.
