Hemant Soren and the Soren Family Feud
Background

In recent years, the family has been embroiled in a bitter feud that has erupted on social media. The feud began when Shibu Soren's daughter-in-law, Sita Soren, quit the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the party founded by her father-in-law, and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
