Chief Minister Hemant Soren lit up the Jharkhand Assembly budget session Friday with a game-changing announcement – the state government will create an Organ Donation Commission. In his spirited defense of the Governor’s address, Soren focused on turning grief into gift-of-life opportunities.
He movingly detailed the story of 10-month-old Alam Jeli Abraham, whose parents Sarin An John and Anil Abraham donated her organs post-brain death. ‘Their decision exemplifies true humanity,’ Soren said, positioning it as a model for the state.
This new body will champion organ donation drives, awareness campaigns, and efficient matching for recipients. ‘We’re committed to rescuing lives through collective goodwill,’ the leader declared.
Soren reveled in the session’s anomaly: no amendments to the address in Jharkhand’s quarter-century history, proof of policy wins gaining traction.
He flipped narratives by saying Jharkhand now sets trends for others. Dismissing ‘double-engine’ flops, he touted coalition strength in upholding democracy despite odds.
Key thrusts: social security, superior schooling, superior health services. ‘Jharkhand 2050: frontrunner status via village-led growth. Opposition flows against the tide,’ Soren jabbed.
With opposition allegedly rattled, he promised world-stage success and fulfillment of vows to 3.5 crore people. Center relations? Open book. Speaker adjourned to Saturday.
