"Thank you Prime Minister Narendra Modiji for your wishes. Your coordination is very valuable to the poor population of Jharkhand," Soren said in a tweet.

Modi had congratulated Hemant Soren and JMM-led alliance for their outstanding victory in the Jharkhand Assembly elections.

"Congratulations to Hemant Soren Ji and the JMM-led alliance for the victory in the Jharkhand polls. Best wishes to them in serving the state," tweeted Modi.
