Champai Soren arrived in Delhi but did not explicitly mention joining another party.

Meanwhile, Hemant Soren claimed that the BJP was attempting to destabilize the government by buying up legislators in the state.

By the end of June, he was informed that the party leadership had suspended all his programs.
