Majority will have to be proved within 10 days
Earlier, JMM legislature party leader Champai Soren had urged the Governor to accept his claim to form the government at the earliest as there was ‘confusion’ in the state. After the resignation of Hemant Soren from the post of Chief Minister on Wednesday, a situation of ‘confusion’ had arisen in the state due to the absence of a CM and due to this the political crisis had deepened. State Congress chief Rajesh Thakur said that Champai Soren has been given 10 days to prove his government’s majority. Congress is an ally of the JMM-led alliance in the state.
Champai Soren is also known as Tiger
People also call Champai Soren as Jharkhand Tiger. Champai had won the by-election for Seraikela assembly constituency for the first time in 1991 as an independent candidate. Soren’s victory was big because he defeated the wife of powerful JMM MP Krishna Mardi. Later, he won on JMM ticket in 1995, but lost the election in 2000 to BJP’s Anantram Tudu. After this, he has been MLA from Seraikela continuously since 2005. In 2019, Soren defeated BJP’s Ganesh Mahali.
