Jharkhand’s BJP-led government reduced to minority now
8 Jan 2013 6:40 AM IST
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday withdrew support from the BJP-led Arjun Munda government here over the issue of ‘rotation of power’, reducing it to a minority in the 82-member house and plunging the state into a political crisis.
‘Today (Monday) we have decided to withdraw support from the government,’ deputy chief minister Hemant Soren and son of JMM chief Shibu Soren said.
‘We had put some points before the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders. The points include change of guard and sharing of power after 28 months,’ he said.
The party also sought apology from a BJP MP for allegedly passing indecent remarks about the JMM chief. ‘The decision when the support will be formally withdrawn will be taken by party chief Shibu Soren,’ he said.
Asked when his party would go to the governor’s house to formally convey the withdrawal of support, he said: ‘We will inform (the reporters).’
The JMM executive committee met here earlier Monday.
Chief minister Arjun Munda also met Shibu Soren for half-an-hour earlier on Monday to defuse the crisis over the issue of ‘rotation of power’ between the coalition partners. Munda did not speak to media after the meeting.
