Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren with UPA MLAs leaves for Ranchi airport to see the MLAs off, amid speculation of his disqualification as an MLA, in Ranchi, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022. (PTI)While Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has sent most of the ruling alliance MLAs to Congress-governed Chhattisgarh to deter a suspected ‘poaching’ attempt by BJP and topple his government, the saffron party is not without its share of hurdles in its purported ‘Mission Jharkhand’ as the Governor waits on the poll panel’s reported recommendation to debar Soren as an MLA.
According to sources, Governor Ramesh Bais is still in the process of consulting legal experts on how to go about the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) reported recommendation against Soren.
BJP leaders admitted that only Soren’s disqualification from the Assembly will not help the party to pursue its mission. “A mere disqualification means the Chief Minister can quit and return to the House by winning a by-election,” a BJP leader pointed out.
The party, this leader said, hopes that Soren will be debarred from contesting elections for a stipulated period with his disqualification.
Once Bais announces a decision on Soren, sources in BJP said some MLAs from the ruling coalition could break away, leading to the government losing its majority in the 82-member House. In the absence of a restriction on Soren from contesting elections, BJP prefers President’s Rule to be imposed in Jharkhand, sources said.
