Jamshedpur : A recent meeting between Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan, Jharkhand’s cricket team captain Virat Singh, and Chennai Super Kings’ Monu Singh with former Jharkhand Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Raghubar Das has stirred political discussions in the state. The trio met Raghubar Das at his residence in Jamshedpur, where he extended his heartfelt wishes for their successful futures in cricket.
The meeting, which took place in the presence of Das, has sparked speculation about the cricketers possibly joining the BJP in the near future. Social media users have raised questions regarding their political inclinations, with some hinting at a potential political entry for the players.
Ishan Kishan’s father, who is already active in politics, has further fueled rumors of Ishan’s own interest in pursuing a political career. Kishan, who has strong ties to Jharkhand cricket, meeting Raghubar Das is being considered significant by political observers.
Raghubar Das, who recently resigned from his position as Odisha Governor, has re-entered active politics. After taking BJP membership once again in 2025, 45 years after his previous tenure, there is increasing talk about him being assigned a prominent role in the party. Speculation is rife that Das may soon be given a major responsibility in the BJP, especially after the current BJP President JP Nadda’s term comes to an end.
As Raghubar Das looks to reassert his influence within the party, political circles are closely monitoring the developments surrounding this meeting and the potential rise of new faces in Jharkhand politics.
