On November 28, 2024, Hemant Soren, the executive president of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), was sworn in as the 14th Chief Minister of Jharkhand at Morhabadi Ground in Ranchi. The event was attended by several opposition leaders from the I.N.D.I.A alliance, including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Amid this, On social media, a video from INDIA alliance has gone viral. While sharing the video some users claim that “Kejriwal did not shake hands with Rahul Gandhi. Meaning clearly AAP is not in the mood to give importance to Congress in Delhi elections”.
