Shibu Soren was grassroots leader, pained by his demise: PM Modi
The passing away of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren has sent shockwaves across the country, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi being one of the first prominent leaders to condole his demise. Shibu Soren, a stalwart of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), was known for his tireless efforts to empower the tribals and the underprivileged sections of society. His sudden demise has left a void not only in the political landscape of Jharkhand but also in the hearts of millions who reposed faith in him.
As news of Shibu Soren’s passing away spread, tributes began pouring in from across the country. Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media to express his condolences, saying, “Shri Shibu Soren Ji was a grassroots leader who worked tirelessly for the betterment of the people, particularly the tribal communities, the poor and the downtrodden. I’m pained by his passing away. My thoughts are with his family and admirers.”
The Prime Minister’s words are a testament to Shibu Soren’s unwavering commitment to serving the marginalized sections of society. Throughout his political career, Soren was known for his unshakeable resolve to fight for the rights of the tribals and the poor. His leadership was marked by a deep understanding of the struggles and challenges faced by these communities, and he worked tirelessly to address their grievances and improve their socio-economic condition.
Shibu Soren’s journey as a grassroots leader began in the 1970s, when he was a young man fighting for the rights of the tribals in the inaccessible regions of Jharkhand. His efforts soon gained momentum, and he became the face of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, the party he co-founded in 1972. Over the years, he went on to become the Chief Minister of Jharkhand twice, serving the state from 2000 to 2003 and again from 2009 to 2010.
Soren’s tenure as Chief Minister was marked by several significant initiatives aimed at empowering the tribals and the poor. He was particularly passionate about promoting education, healthcare, and infrastructure development in the backward regions of the state. His government also implemented several schemes aimed at providing financial assistance to the marginalized sections of society, including the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
Shibu Soren’s leadership was not limited to his work in Jharkhand alone. He was a vocal advocate for the rights of the tribals and the poor across the country. He worked closely with several national and international organizations to highlight the plight of these communities and push for policy changes that would benefit them. His efforts did not go unnoticed, and he was awarded several accolades for his tireless work in this field.
The passing away of Shibu Soren is a loss not only for the people of Jharkhand but also for the entire country. His demise has left a void that will be difficult to fill, but his legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi so aptly put it, Shibu Soren was a grassroots leader who worked tirelessly for the betterment of the people, particularly the tribal communities, the poor and the downtrodden. His passing away has left a deep sense of loss and regret, but his memory will continue to be a source of inspiration for those who continue to fight for the rights of the marginalized.
