PM Modi touring the entire India, India's name is becoming popular in foreign countries also, so considering this, I have trust and faith in JP Nadda ji, Amit Shah ji, Devendra Fernand ji, I will get support from them and we have to save Jharkhand." Sita Soren alias Sita Murmu is Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Hemant Soren's sister-in-law. She is the widow of his elder brother Durga Soren. Sita was first elected as the MLA from Jama in 2009.

Soon after, she was appointed as JMM's National General Secretary. She won the Jharkhand Legislative Elections from Jama for two more terms in 2014 and 2019. The three-time MLA from Jama and party supremo Shibu Soren's daughter-in-law has been accused of receiving money from RK Agarwal in the 2012 Rajya Sabha elections.

Over ₹2 crore were seized from her residence on the day of the 2012 elections. Sita even served seven months in jail over corruption charges and is out on bail now. On March 4, the Supreme Court overturned the 1998 JMM bribery case judgement, which protected her father-in-law from prosecution, following a petition by Sita Soren.

She contended before the apex court that the constitutional provision granting lawmakers immunity from prosecution and the 1998 verdict, which saw her father-in-law being let off the hook in the JMM bribery scandal, be applied to her. She had moved the apex court against the Jharkhand High Court order of February 17, 2014, refusing to quash the criminal case lodged against her. Recently, after Hemant Soren was arrested, speculations were rife that his wife Kalpana Soren would take over as Jharkhand's Chief Minister.
