THE DEBUTANTS SEPTUAGENARIANS
NALIN SOREN, 76
JMM | Dumka (ST), Jharkhand
As a seven-term MLA from Sikaripara and a contemporary of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) patriarch Shibu Soren, this seasoned tribal leader’s political journey—which started from the undivided Bihar—has been mar ked by loyalty and rigour. Though only four years younger to Shibu, Nalin idolises him and has remained steadfastly loyal to him and his son Hemant. Nalin’s Lok Sabha win has been celebrated across the party cadre because he has not only reclaimed Dumka, a seat previously held by Shibu, but also because he defeated Sita Soren, Hemant’s estranged sister-in-law who joined the BJP ahead of the election.
BRIJENDRA SINGH OLA, 72
CONGRESS | Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan
