Armed with the support of 42 MLAs in the 82-member Jharkhand Assembly,
JMM Legislature Party leader Hemant Soren would formally stake claim to
form government later today.
“The
JMM leader sought time between 5 pm and 6 pm to stake claim for a new
government formation, and Governor Syed Ahmed gave him time at 5.30 pm,”
said an official attached to Raj Bhavan.
The development comes nine days before the six-month period of President’s rule ends.
On
Monday, JMM General Secretary Vinod Pandey had said the party would
likely stake claim to form the ninth coalition government today with the
required majority.
