Earlier on X, Soren recounted his political journey, from advocating for workers and participating in the Jharkhand movement to striving for the rights of tribals, the poor, laborers, students, and backward classes. He emphasized his dedication to public service throughout his tenure as Chief Minister from January 31 until his resignation on July 3.
Notably, Soren had expressed feeling “insulted” during his tenure, highlighting several instances of humiliation, including the sudden cancellation of his programs and the lack of communication about legislative meetings. He felt that his self-respect was severely compromised and struggled with the situation.

In the concluding tweet, he stated that he is keeping “all options open” until the upcoming Jharkhand Assembly elections. He cited various instances where he was prevented from calling legislative party meetings and was abruptly asked to resign, which led him to seek an alternative path.
Meanwhile, on July 3, Champai Soren, who had been sworn in as the 12th Chief Minister of Jharkhand on February 2 of this year, resigned from his position. The following day, on July 4, Hemant Soren, the executive president of JMM, assumed office as the 13th Chief Minister of Jharkhand.
