Hemant Soren instructed his party machinery to launch a grassroots campaign against the amendment. He ordered that the protest message be taken to villages and panchayat levels, ensuring that opposition spreads to the smallest administrative units. In the conference, senior leaders including MPs Vijay Hansda, Mahua Maji, and ministers such as Sudhvi Kumar and Vinod Pandey pledged support. Soren asserted that the bill threatens social security schemes like Mayyan Samman, Abua Awas, pensions, education and health programmes, and that Jharkhand will not back down.
