Ranchi. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren held a meeting with ruling coalition MLAs on Wednesday amid action by the central agency Enforcement Directorate, ED. MLAs from JMM, Congress and RJD participated in this. While presiding over the meeting held at the Chief Minister’s residence, Hemant Soren told the MLAs that he will not resign and will remain the Chief Minister. It is noteworthy that on Wednesday, ED conducted raids on several people including Chief Minister’s Media Advisor Abhishek Prasad alias Pintu and an IAS officer.
However, recently, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MLA Sarfaraz Ahmed had resigned from his Gandey seat, after which it was being said that if ED arrests Hemant Soren, he will make his wife Kalpana Soren the CM and contest elections from Gandey seat. Will make you fight. Rejecting these speculations, Hemant Soren told the MLAs in the legislature party meeting – do not pay attention to social media and newspapers. I am not resigning at any cost. Along with this, he has instructed all the MLAs to stay in Ranchi for now. It is being told that all the MLAs can go somewhere for picnic. Congress MLA Pradeep Yadav, who came out of the meeting, said that Hemant Soren is the Chief Minister now and will remain the Chief Minister in future too. JMM MLA Mathura Mahato said that there is no crisis on the government.
State government minister Mithilesh Thakur said- Hemant Soren is our universally accepted leader. He will be present. When asked about the sudden meeting of the legislature party, he said – We all have met in the new year. Met the MLAs of all the parties involved in the alliance and ate sweets. Congress MLA Irfan Ansari said- There was an envelope in the meeting. I opened the envelope on which it was written, Hemant Soren’s government will remain in power for the next 25 years. Earlier, a separate meeting of Congress was held, in which 15 out of 17 MLAs were present. Two absent MLAs had already informed about this.
