September 8, 2022: "I had run out of undergarments, so I went to Delhi to purchase them. I get them from there,” said Basant Soren, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's brother and JMM MLA when asked about his Delhi visit amid the recent political unrest in the state.

As many as 32 MLAs of the ruling coalition were taken on August 30 to a resort in Raipur, the capital of Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh amid a disqualification threat. Soren’s party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), believed that the BJP may make a serious attempt to poach MLAs from the party and also from its ally Congress in a bid to topple the government.

The MLAs have returned to Ranchi ahead of the trust vote that Hemant Soren won.
