New BJP chief confident of forming government in Jharkhand | The newly elected President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitin Gadkari, has said that his party would
be a part of the government in Jharkhand. BJP supporters gathered in large numbers to welcome Gadkari at the Santacruz Airport on his arrival in Mumbai Addressing
party workers and supporters, Gadkari said Jharkhand would be the ninth state
to be ruled by the BJP. "When there were two Members of Parliament, people
started
saying that the BJP was on the verge of collapse. Today, we have a government
in eight states and when I was coming out of the airport, I got a call from Rajnath
Singh saying that we will now be ruling in ninth state as well. That is in Jharkhand,"
he said. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Sibu Soren has staked a claim to
form
the government in Jharkhand with the support of the BJP and the All Jharkhand
Students Union. According to reports, the list of legislatures submitted to the
Jharkhand Governor to form the government includes 18 each of the JMM and BJP,
five of the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), besides the lone MLA of
Jharkhand
Janadhikar Manch led by Bandhu Tirkey . It has been four days after the results
of the polls for the Jharkhand State Assembly elections threw up all sorts of
possibilities with no single party in a position to form a government of its own
in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly. Sibu Soren 's Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
(JMM)
has surprised everyone by winning 18 seats and he has emerged as the kingmaker.
The Congress and Babulal Marandi's Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) has
emerged
as the largest political block, winning 25 seats. |
