JMM Offers BJP Equal Sharing of Rest of Govt Term in Jharkhand

To solve the crisis in Jharkhan, Hemant Soren, son of chief minister and JMM chief Shibu Soren, has proposed to its ally BJP equal sharing of the rest of the government’s term, said media reports.

Hemant suggested a BJP CM for the first half and a JMM CM for the second half, said reports.

The development came a day after Hemant flew to Delhi to meet BJP chief Nitin Gadkari and after hectic parleys between the two parties today.

The BJP again insisted on letters of support from all 18 JMM MLAs so that it could form a stable government, reports said.

Also, it asked for an assurance from the JMM that the government would last for the rest of the term, said reports.

The crisis started in the state after the BJP decided to withdraw support to the Soren-led government after the JMM chief voted for the UPA government at the Centre in the cut motions in Lok Sabha on April 28.

However, the BJP put its decision on hold after Hemant offered to transfer power.

Hemant Soren has resigned as Dumka MLA so that his father can get elected to the Assembly. Shibu Soren is a Lok Sabha MP and needs to get elected to the Assembly within six months of the formation of government. He has only two months left for that.
