"Hemant Soren Ignored Advice": Jharkhand MLA Ahead Of Crucial Floor Test
NDTV
Champai Soren needs to prove his government's majority in a floor test tomorrow
There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip. This proverb holds true for the current situation in Jharkhand. Champai Soren has claimed the support of 47 MLAs of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and RJD and taken oath as Chief Minister. Tomorrow, he faces a majority test in the Assembly, and latest developments indicate the battle is far from over.
Of the 47 MLAs, one has come out strongly against former Chief Minister Hemant Soren, whose resignation set off the process for a new government formation. Another JMM legislator, sources said, is off the grid and is likely to skip the floor test tomorrow. The JMM, busy keeping its flock of MLAs together, has stressed that it has adequate numbers to cross the majority mark in the 81-member Assembly.
A JMM MLA today said Hemant Soren had ignored his advice and that landed him in jail.
