Hemant Soren will be Jharkhand Chief Minister as JMM-Congress-RJD alliance defeats BJP BJP has lost five states - Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan - in a year Ranchi (IANS): Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-CongressRashtriya Janta Dal alliance’s Chief Minister candidate Hemant Soren was on Tuesday invited to form the government in Jharkhand and will take oath on December 29. Accompanied by leaders of alliance partners, the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Soren met Governor Draupadi Murmu at Raj Bhawan at 8.45 p.m. and staked his claim to form the government. The swearing-in will take here on 1 p.m. on Sunday. The alliance, which won 47 seats in the 81-member house in the November-December Assembly election, has also secured support of former ally, the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha-Prajatantrik. Soren was elected leader of the alliance at a meeting of alliance MLAs at the residence of his father and JMM President Shibu Soren on Tuesday night. Earlier in the day, newly-elected JMM legislators elected him as the leader of the legislature party. Talking to the media after it became clear that the BJP has lost the elections on Monday, Soren dedicated his victory to the people of the state and also thanked alliance partners for reposing faith in him “I thank Guruji (father Shibu Soren), Laluji and Soniaji, Rahulji, Priyankaji and all those leaders who reposed their faith and trust in me,” Soren said. Stating that a new chapter has been opened, he said it would be a milestone for the state. All the
Hemant Soren with Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi
promises made to the people would be fulfilled, he added. “We will sit with the alliance partners and decide the next course of action,” Soren said. According to the Election Commission data, the BJP secured 33.53 per cent vote, the JMMCongress-RJD alliance 36 per cent. Of this, the JMM, the Congress and the RJD have received 19.29 per cent, 13.78 per cent and 2.82 per
cent votes, respectively. The AJSU has garnered 8.15 per cent and the AIMIM led by Assudin Owaisi 1.08 per cent votes. The elections took place in five phases between November 30 and December 20. The Congress termed the results a rejection of BJP’s “anti-people” and “anti-constitutional” policies. Congress General Secretary,
Organisation, K.C. Venugopal said the results of the Jharkhand Assembly election are “a substantive and clear mandate against the divisive and disruptive political actions of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and the BJP”. “The people of Jharkhand have rejected the anti-people and anticonstitutional policies of the BJP. Instead of talking about the development in respective states or issues of common people, the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi was trying to fool the people by their narrow minded divisive political actions and sectarian agenda,” he said, in a release. Venugopal insisted that the people of Jharkhand have given a befitting reply to the BJP. “The victory in Jharkhand will give more power to the Congress party to fight against the anti-constitutional and anti-people policies of the BJP,” he added. Taking a dig at the BJP, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday said the people of Jharkhand have given the mandate and the President should not be disturbed at 5 a.m. to form the government and the Governor should not even bother to swear the oath to the government secretly. His remarks were a reference to the government formation by BJP in Maharashtra when in a sudden development, Devendra Fadnavis was sworn in as the Maharashtra Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar as his deputy by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari in an early morning closed-door event.
