Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], August 22 (ANI): Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday said that the State Assembly here will consider sending a proposal to the Centre recommending Bharat Ratna to former CM and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) founder patron Shibu Soren.

Speaking to reporters, CM Hemant Soren said, 'It is the emotion of the House. The members presented the public sentiment in the House. The House will consider.'

Earlier on August 16, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MP Mahua Maji demanded the Bharat Ratna for former Chief Minister Shibu Soren.

Speaking to ANI, Maji termed the late Shibu Soren as the greatest tribal leader.

'I feel that there is no tribal leader greater than Guruji. We demand the Bharat Ratna for him. We are all demanding from the PM that our Guruji should get the Bharat Ratna. And whatever he did for the people of Jharkhand, today that love is being seen; after his death, the people are understanding what he did for us. His name will be written in golden letters in the history of India,' Maji added.

Shibu Soren's political career spanned over four decades, during which he served as Chief Minister of Jharkhand three times and held key portfolios, including Union Coal Minister in the UPA government led by Dr Manmohan Singh.

Shibu Soren passed away on August 4 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi after a prolonged illness. (ANI)
