Jharkhand CM gets support of 47 MLAs, while 29 MLAs voted against trust motion. Ex-CM Hemant Soren, who was arrested last week, was allowed by court to participate in trust vote.
The 67-year-old tribal leader was sworn in as the 12th chief minister of the state with a 10 days period to prove his government’s majority, said state Congress chief Rajesh Thakur.
While JMM has 29 MLAs, the Congress 16 and the RJD 1 in the Jharkhand assembly, while the BJP-led NDA has just 32 MLAs, nine short of the majority mark.
Senior JMM leader, whose name has been proposed by the ruling alliance in Jharkhand as the new CM after Hemant Soren’s arrest, said he has the support of 47 MLAs in the 81-member assembly.
ED has made 14 arrests in first case & dubbed JMM working president Hemant Soren's MLA representative as 'kingpin' in the other case involving ‘illegal’ stone mining in Sahibganj.
The Supreme Court referred a 1998 judgment that provided immunity to MPs and MLAs in cash-for-votes cases to a seven-judge bench Wednesday, citing chance to ‘straighten the law’.
In 1998, SC ruled in 'JMM bribery scandal' that MPs who took bribes in connection with speech or vote in Parliament had immunity from prosecution under Article 105 of Constitution.
Political analysts say Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren has shown he can handle the game of nerves and keep the BJP guessing. Alliance leaders couldn't be happier.
While releasing 'India Employment Report 2024', V Anantha Nageswaran said govt can't solve 'all social, economic challenges'. Congress leader Kharge says CEA protecting 'dear leader'.
In an interview with Gulistan News this week, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the government would leave law and order to J&K Police and slowly withdraw troops.
The ‘idea’ Kejriwal's politics grew around was a no-holds-barred fight against corruption. That is the reason Modi govt has now tarred him and his entire party with the same paint.
