CM Hemant Soren wins trust vote in Jharkhand assembly
Jul-08-2024

Jharkhand Chief Minister (CM) Hemant Soren successfully won the trust vote in the one-day special session of Jharkhand Assembly today. 

45 Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led MLAs voted in favor of the government and zero against the motion after Opposition walked out and did not take part in the voting. After the government won the trust vote, Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato adjourned the proceedings of the House indefinitely. The floor test was conducted after Hemant Soren moved a confidence motion. After winning the floor test, CM Soren said, ‘Since 2019, we have been continuously following constitutional procedures and today again you all got to see the strength and power of the ruling party. On my behalf, I thank the Speaker and all the respected members of the ruling party.’ 

After the Lok Sabha elections, the strength of the ruling alliance, led by Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), has been reduced to 45 MLAs — JMM-27, Congress-17, and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) 1. Two JMM MLAs -- Nalin Soren and Joba Majhi -- are now parliamentarians. The JMM expelled two more legislators – Bishunpur MLA Chamra Linda and Boriyo MLA Lobin Hembrom – from the party. Meanwhile, the BJP's strength in the assembly has reduced to 24, as two of its MLAs – Dhulu Mahto (Baghmara) and Manish Jaiswal (Hazaribag) – are now MPs. The saffron party expelled Mandu MLA Jaiprakash Bhai Patel after he joined the Congress. The current strength of the 81-member Jharkhand assembly is 76.

Hemant Soren, was sworn in as the 13th CM Jharkhand on July 04, after he got bail from the Jharkhand High Court in an alleged land scam. He was sworn in after his predecessor Champai Soren stepped down from the post on July 03.
