Amid political crisis, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren to seek trust vote on September 5

As per a letter sent to the MLAs by the Assembly Secretariat, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren has expressed his willingness to move a motion of confidence to prove his majority
Amid suspense over continuation of the Jharkhand Chief Minister as an MLA, Hemant Soren will seek a vote of trust during the special session of the Assembly on September 5, an official said.
As per a letter sent to the MLAs by the Assembly Secretariat, the Chief Minister has expressed his willingness to move a motion of confidence to prove his majority.
Opposition BJP has also convened its legislature party’s meeting on Sept. 4 to chalk out its strategy in the House, party sources said.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Alamgir Alam said, “A state of confusion is prevailing in Jharkhand. Our delegation met the Governor [on Thursday] and he assured us to clear the air in a day or two. But nothing has happened till now. Therefore, we will raise our points in the Assembly and prove our majority.”
Following a petition by the BJP seeking Mr. Soren’s disqualification from the Assembly in an office of profit case, the Election Commission (EC) sent its decision to Governor Ramesh Bais on August 25, sparking a political crisis in the State.
Though the EC’s decision has not yet been made official, there is a buzz that the poll panel has recommended the Chief Minister’s disqualification as an MLA.
The ruling UPA has asserted that disqualification of the CM as an MLA will not affect the government, as the JMM-Congress-RJD coalition enjoys an absolute majority in the 81-member House.
