The land scam involves illegal activities related to changing ownership of government land and selling it to builders. The ED has already arrested 14 people, including an IAS officer named Chhavi Ranjan.
With state elections approaching in November, discussions took place among the ruling alliance about Hemant Soren's successor. Initially, his wife, Kalpana Soren, was considered, but due to election rules, the party had to reconsider.
