His strategic influence has been further deepened by his leadership of “Maiya Samman Yatra”, a statewide outreach campaign launched from Banshidhar Nagar on 23 September. The initiative promotes the Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana (MMMSY), a welfare scheme launched by Hemant Soren’s government, which initially provided monthly assistance of Rs 1,000 to economically disadvantaged women and was recently expanded to Rs. This has been increased to Rs 2,500 in response to BJP’s rival promise of allowance. For women.
One participant, Anu Topno, a 24-year-old Munda woman and primary school teacher from Simdega district, described Kalpana as a symbol of a modern tribal identity that speaks to aspirational tribal women like her. “He is the only leader I can connect with. If JMM returns to power, I believe tribal women will benefit greatly,” she said, highlighting the concrete relief that already provides Rs 1,000 assistance to many struggling families.
Kalpana’s efforts have transformed the Maiya Samman Yatra from a mere election campaign into a powerful movement, making women empowerment central to Jharkhand’s political agenda. Her emphasis on other welfare initiatives such as the Savitribai Phule Kishori Samriddhi Yojana and the Birsa Harit Gram Yojana, with a targeted focus on women’s welfare, underlines JMM’s dedication to supporting marginalized communities.
Recently, BJP leader Babulal Marandi compared him and Hemant Soren to the fictional thief duo from the 2005 film Bunty and BabliSuggesting that they are cheating the people of Jharkhand. In response, Kalpana described these attacks as gender discriminatory and evidence of BJP’s uneasiness with JMM’s growing support.
