Chief Minister of Jharkhand Hemant Soren said
Chief Minister of Jharkhand Hemant Soren today said he hasn’t yet received any communication while he’s seen several media reports and BJP’s statements about the Election Commission “recommending his disqualification as a MLA”. The BJP, though, is confident that its plea has succeeded, and sought mid-term polls “on moral grounds”.
Contents of the Election Commission’s report aren’t public yet.
“It apparently seems that BJP leaders, including a BJP MP and his puppet journalists, have themselves drafted the ECI report, which is otherwise a sealed cover report,” Mr. Soren reacted angrily in a statement. Read More…..
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said
The BJP, which has accused Mr. Soren of giving himself a mining lease and thus sought his disqualification, is already moving to the next political step. “Hemant Soren should head towards mid-term polls, on moral grounds,” said BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, “Assembly should be dissolved and there should be elections in all 81 assembly constituencies. BJP has been demanding this.”
Alamgir Alam, leader of the Congress Legislature Party said
But the Congress, junior partner of Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), says the alliance has the numbers in any case. “I met the CM, who told me he hasn’t yet got any communication about the sealed report. Let the Governor decide. We are working on our strategy,” said Alamgir Alam, leader of the Congress Legislature Party.
On whether a new face would be put up if Hemant Soren is disqualified — or will Hemant Soren simply take a new oath and fight a new election — the Congress leader, “We definitely want Mr. Soren to remain the chief minister… We have the strength. The government will remain in place.”
