New Delhi:
JMM working president Hemant Soren on Sunday took oath as the 11th chief minister of Jharkhand. Governor Droupadi Murmu administered the oath of office and secrecy to Soren at Mohrabadi Ground, amid a galaxy of politicians and dignitaries, some of whom would be sharing the dais. This is JMM leader’s second stint as Jharkhand chief minister. Official sources had earlier said Congress Legislature Party Leader Alamgir Alam, state Congress president Rameshwar Oraon and RJD MLA Satyanand Bhokta are also likely to take oath as cabinet ministers at the ceremony.
In the just-conducted Assembly elections, the JMM-Congress-Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alliance triumphed over the BJP, winning 47 seats in the 81-member House.
