DUMKA: Sita Soren, who is contesting from the Dumka Parliamentary constituency in the Lok Sabha elections for Jharkhand as a BJP candidate, claimed that the people of the state were standing with her and that the future is dark for the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha.
Sita Soren is the wife of Hemant Soren‘s late elder brother, Durga Soren, who died in 2009.

She also reflected on the current political situation in Jharkhand after the arrest of former Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
“Many workers are also calling me, saying that they are with me because they too do not see any hope in JMM; the future there is dark for the party, ” she said.
Sita Soren on Friday demanded a high-level probe into the death of her husband.
“I demand an inquiry into Durga Soren’s death. His death happened under suspicious circumstances. I raised this issue many times while I was at JMM but our demands were ignored there. We are demanding an inquiry into his death,” Soren told reporters.
