JMM legislature party leader Champai Soren on 2 February took oath as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand at the Raj Bhavan in Ranchi. This comes two days after Hemant Soren’s resignation as the CM and his arrest by the ED.
Champai Soren was appointed to the chief minister’s post on Thursday after he urged the governor to accept his claim to form the government at the earliest as there was “confusion” in the state which was without a chief minister since the resignation of Hemant Soren on Wednesday, deepening a political crisis. Champai Soren has been given 10 days to prove his government’s majority, said state Congress chief Rajesh Thakur whose party is a constituent of the JMM-led alliance.
The 67-year-old tribal leader sworn in as the 12th chief minister of the state. He is the sixth CM from the Jharkhand’s Kolhan region which comprises East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum and Seraikela-Kharsawan districts.
During the oath taking ceremony, senior Congress leader Alamgir Alam, RJD leader Satyanand Bhokta took oath as cabinet ministers.
