Chief Minister Hemant Soren made a heartfelt journey to Dhanbad’s Badiyapur area on Thursday, accompanied by MLA Kalpana Soren. Their destination: the residence of ex-MLA Anand Mahato, where they joined the shraddh observance for his departed son, Dr. Buddhadev Mahato.
With quiet dignity, Soren laid flowers before the portrait, delivering an emotional shraddhanjali. His prayers sought solace for the soul and resilience for the family enduring unimaginable loss. In Jharkhand’s often fractious politics, this moment stood out for its sincerity.
Kalpana Soren echoed the tribute, her participation amplifying the family’s support network. The Sorens spent time consoling Anand Mahato and relatives, their words a balm in grief. This outreach exemplifies how leaders nurture long-standing alliances.
The late doctor was more than a professional; he embodied community service in Dhanbad, a city pivotal to Jharkhand’s economy. His father’s political stature adds layers to the narrative, blending personal tragedy with public legacy.
Soren’s engagement reflects his grassroots approach, vital in a state with diverse tribal and industrial interests. As the ceremony wrapped up, the emphasis remained on healing and unity. Such events humanize governance, bridging leaders and citizens in shared sorrow.
