He was undergoing treatment in Delhi for a kidney ailment and had been on life support after he suffered a stroke last month.
In a political career of more than 40 years, Soren co-founded the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), an influential regional party that has been at the forefront of the creation of the tribal-dominated eastern state.
He became the chief minister of Jharkhand three times, but failed to complete his any of these terms in office due to political instability in the state.
