'Courtesy Call': Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren Meets PM Modi

New Delhi: Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, days after he took charge of the post of Chief Minister again.

Positing a picture on X from his meeting with the prime minister, Soren said the meeting was a "courtesy call".

The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) executive president had resigned as the chief minister before his arrest on January 31 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.

After spending around five months in prison, he secured a bail and became the chief minister of Jharkhand again on July 4.
