Ropes in doubtful hands! Hemant Soren sworn in as Chief Minister of Jharkhand

Ranchi, December 30: Giving ropes in doubtful hands, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, JMM leader Hemant Soren took oath as the 11th Chief Minister of the state on Sunday. Governor Draupadi Murmu administered the oath of office to Soren at Morhabadi grounds in Ranchi. 

 

Along with Soren, Congress Legislature Party Leader Alamgir Alam state Congress president Rameshwar Oraon and only MLA of RJD Satyanand Bhokta were also sworn in as state cabinet ministers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Hemant Soren on taking oath as Jharkhand Chief Minister. In a tweet, PM Modi assured all possible support from the Centre for Jharkhand’s growth.

In the 81 member Assembly, the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance has won 47 seats in the recently concluded Assembly elections. BJP has got 25 seats.

Hemant Soren led coalition government took several important decisions. It announced to take back all the cases lodged against accused in the Pathalgadi movement and early filling up of all posts lying vacant in the state government. It was also decided that Fastrack courts will be soon set up in all districts for early redressal of cases related to women and child sexual harassment. All the announcements and decisions have a question mark with it that would be in real or only on papers?

JMM Senior Leader Stephen Marandi from Maheshpur constituency will be nominated as the Protem Speaker for the new Assembly session of the government to be held from January 6-8, in 2020. All the newly elected legislators will also take oath of office and secrecy in the new Assembly session.
