biography

Hemant Soren was born as the son of Roopi and Shibu Soren in a small town in Jharkhand, which at that time still belonged to Bihar. He was one of four children - 3 brothers and a sister. The family belongs to the Santal ethnic group , which is one of the "recognized tribal communities" ( Scheduled Tribes ) of India. His father Shibu Soren founded a political party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), in 1973 , the aim of which was to separate Jharkhand as a separate state from Bihar. Ultimately, efforts in this direction, driven by various sides, were successful and Jharkhand became a state of its own in 2000.

Shibu Soren then served three times as Chief Minister and during his tenure began to develop his son Durga Soren as his political successor as JMM party leader and potential Chief Minister. These plans could not be realized because Durga Soren died unexpectedly on May 21, 2009 at the age of 39 from a cerebral haemorrhage after a domestic fall. Then Hemant Soren took over the role of his late older brother. After he was still in the parliamentary election in Jharkhand in February 2005 as a JMM candidate in the constituency 10-Dumka, clearly trailing behind the candidates of the Congress Party or BJP , he was able to win this constituency in the following election in December 2009 . In the election in November / December 2014, he ran in parallel in the constituencies 3-Barhait and 10-Dumka and was successful in the former. In the next election in November / December 2019, he won both constituencies mentioned and accepted the mandate for the first. From June 24, 2009 to January 4, 2010, Soren was a member of Jharkhand's member of the Rajya Sabha (the first chamber of the Indian Parliament).

From September 11, 2010, Hemant Soren held the post of Deputy Chief Minister in the four-party coalition government from BJP / JMM / JD (U) / AJSU Party under Chief Minister Arjun Munda (BJP). On January 8, 2013, the JMM terminated the coalition with the BJP, as a result of which the Munda government lost its parliamentary majority. On January 18, 2013, the state was placed under President's rule . A coalition of JMM, Congress Party and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) was then formed, headed by Hemant Soren as Chief Minister of Jharkhand from July 13, 2013 to December 28, 2014. As of 2014, this coalition was replaced by a BJP sole government under Chief Minister Raghubar Das . The election in Jharkhand 2019 was then won again by the “grand coalition” ( Mahagathbandhan ) made up of JMM, Congress and RJD. On December 29, 2019, Soren was sworn in as Chief Minister of Jharkhand at the head of a government made up of the three parties.

Soren is married and has two sons with his wife Kalpana.
