  • LIVE Updates | Hemant Soren Takes Oath As Jharkhand Chief Minister For 3rd Time |

    JMM executive president Hemant Soren took oath as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand for third time on Thursday at 5 p.m. Soren received an invitation from Governor CP Radhakrishnan to form the government in the state. The development comes a day after Champai Soren resigned from the Chief Minister’s chair and Hemant Soren, who is currently out on bail in a money laundering case, claimed to form the government. In a decisive move, leaders of the JMM-led alliance in the state have unanimously elected Hemant Soren as the legislature party leader. 

    On Wednesday, a delegation from the JMM-led alliance met Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan. The delegation, led by Hemant Soren, included Congress state unit president Rajesh Thakur, RJD minister Satyanand Bhokta, and MLA Vinod Singh. Kalpana Soren, the Gandey MLA and wife of Hemant Soren, was also part of the delegation. 

    ED To Move Supreme Court 

    The Enforcement Directorate (ED) plans to reach out to Supreme Court against the court’s order that granted bail to former Chief Minister Hemant Soren. As per PTI, the ED will file a special leave petition (SLP) challenging the June 28 order passed by a bench of Justice Rongon Mukhopadhyay. 

    The agency believes that the court’s assertion that Soren is ‘not guilty’ is incorrect, as the accused does not meet the twin conditions outlined in Section 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The high court had said that there was ‘reason to believe’ that Hemat Soren was innocent of the alleged offence by the ED and that there was no likelihood of the petitioner engaging in a similar offence.

  • Champai Soren To Take Oath As Jharkhand CM Today, Floor Test In 10 Days |

    New Delhi: In significant development amid the political turmoil in Jharkhand, Champai Soren, a prominent figure in the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha party, is scheduled to be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand today.

    On Thursday, Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan extended an invitation to Champai Soren to Raj Bhavan to establish the government in the state. Champai Soren, a supporter of JMM leader Hemant Soren, has been entrusted with the responsibility to prove his majority in a floor test, scheduled to take place within the next 10 days.

    On Thursday, Champai Soren, along with 43 legislators, met Jharkhand Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhavan, staking a claim to form the government in the state.

    Amidst escalating political tension in the state on Thursday evening, Congress leaders seized the opportunity to condemn the BJP, accusing it of “crushing the mandate in every state.”

    “Immediately after the resignation of the coalition government in Bihar, the Governor had sent an invitation to form a new government. But the invitation to form a government was not sent even a day after staking claim in Jharkhand,” Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in a post on X.

    “First, the Chief Minister was forced to resign by imposing ED. He was arrested. Now there are reports that efforts are being made to buy the MLAs by stopping the formation of the new government. First Bihar, then Chandigarh and now Jharkhand – BJP is crushing the mandate in every state by influencing through money,” she added.

    Congress leader, Mallikarjun Kharge expressed disapproval of the Jharkhand Governor’s delay in extending an invitation to Champai Soren, the leader of the JMM legislature party, to establish the government in the state.

    “In the House of 81 MLAs, only 41 are majority. Despite having the support of 48 MLAs, not inviting Champai Soren ji to form the government is clearly a disrespect to the Constitution and denial of public opinion,” Kharge said in a post on X.
    Meanwhile, JMM leader and former chief minister Hemant Soren was sent to one-day judicial custody by a special PMLA court in Ranchi in connection with an alleged land scam case.

    Soren was arrested on Wednesday night by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) after six hours of questioning in the money laundering case linked to the alleged land scam.
