Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren faced a trust vote today as he arrived at the assembly under tight security. This comes after Champai Soren, who took over as Chief Minister following Hemant Soren’s arrest, assumed office. Hemant Soren was granted permission by a special court in Ranchi to participate in the crucial trust vote, citing his rights as a member of the assembly and his party’s stake in the session. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader was arrested on charges of involvement in a Rs 600-crore land scam and money laundering. The Enforcement Directorate has alleged that there was a large-scale racket behind the illegal transfer of government land to builders. Fourteen individuals, including a former IAS officer, have been arrested in connection with the case. Hemant Soren has claimed that he is a victim of a conspiracy orchestrated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance holds a majority in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly with 47 MLAs, while the BJP has 25 MLAs and the AJSU has three. The remaining seats are divided among the NCP, a Left party, and three independent MLAs.
Hemant Soren, the former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, was recently taken into custody by the police as he arrived for a trust vote in the Jharkhand Assembly. The trust vote was organized following the resignation of six Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLAs, which led to the fall of the previous state government. Soren was surrounded by a heavy police presence as he arrived at the Assembly premises. The trust vote held significant importance for his political career as it determined the formation of the new government in Jharkhand.
