After the meeting between the state Congress in-charge and the CM, Jharkhand Congress President Rajesh Thakur has given his response. He said that ‘this meeting took place between the Chief Minister and Congress’s state in-charge Avinash Pandey. It is not right to make public what he has discussed. Regarding a meeting held on Saturday, he said that MLAs, ministers, workers had met in yesterday’s meeting. Everyone put forth their views. There was no talk on the government’s crisis.

Congress leader and Health Minister Banna Gupta alleges
After the meeting on Saturday, Congress leader and Health Minister Banna Gupta said that a conspiracy has been hatched to destabilize the government in the state. Without naming the BJP, he alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to destabilize our state government. Across the country, elected governments are being destabilized. Now, it has become a norm. Congress is firmly against it and there is no crisis in the government.
Why is the Soren government in trouble?
Governor Ramesh Bais can announce the termination of Hemant Soren’s assembly membership at any time. Soren is accused of taking mining lease in his name when he was the Chief Minister. The Election Commission has sent a recommendation to the Governor to end Soren’s membership. He will have to give up the chief minister’s post if Soren leaves his legislature. The opposition BJP can take advantage of the political uncertainty created by the fall of the government, which needs 13 MLAs to form the government.
Saturday night meeting
Chief Minister Hemant Soren had called a meeting of the members of the ruling UPA alliance in the state on Saturday. Congress MLAs also attended the meeting of MLAs held at Soren’s residence in the night. Congress Legislature Party leader Avinash Pandey also reached to attend. Later Pandey said that Congress is with Soren in the time of crisis. She has suspended three of her MLAs in Kolkata after being caught with huge amounts of cash. The party has 16 members in the assembly and looking at the numbers, it is finding it easier for the BJP to defect to the Congress than the JMM. In view of this, the party is taking extra vigil.
With only 33 MLAs Soren: BJP
BJP MP from Jharkhand Nishikant Dubey said about sending UPA MLAs to the resort, even after beating hands and feet, only 33 UPA MLAs could join the government in Ranchi. First stop of JMM MLAs in Latratu.
