The Champai Soren-led alliance government in Jharkhand will seek a vote of confidence on February 5, the first day of the two-day Assembly session. The Congress asserted that the BJP's attempts at "breaking" the party and the RJD in Bihar will also "fail miserably".
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “On 28th January, Nitish Kumar resigns as CM of Bihar. On 28th January, Nitish Kumar is sworn-in as CM of Bihar and given time till February 12 for proving his alliance’s majority on the floor of the Assembly.” “On January 31, Hemant Soren resigns as CM of Jharkhand and on February 2, Champai Soren is sworn-in as CM of Jharkhand and given time till February 5 to prove his alliance’s majority on the floor of the Jharkhand Assembly,” Mr. Ramesh said.
"Clearly the G-2, the PM and HM, are thinking that 'horse-trading' will be quicker in Jharkhand than in Bihar. They are in for a big shock," the Congress leader said.
