Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren with UPA MLAs leaves for Ranchi airport on way to Raipur amid speculation of his disqualification as an MLA, in Ranchi, Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022. (PTI Photo) Barely three days after the MLAs of the ruling coalition in Jharkhand boarded buses for a day-out in the state’s Khunti, UPA legislators have once again set out on buses. This time, 31 MLAs including cabinet ministers, will fly to another state amid alleged attempts by the BJP to poach the UPA’s legislators.
Highly placed sources in the government said the MLAs are being taken to Raipur, Chhattisgarh, where a Congress dispensation is in place. However, the sources added that meetings are also being held to scout an alternate place if the need arises.
“Initially, Chhattisgarh said they can’t handle all of them, so we thought of going to Rajasthan. But now we have got confirmation from Raipur. Lekin abhi hamare options khule hain. Dono jagah sambhavit hai (But our options are open now, and there is a possibility we will to either of the states,” said an MLA on condition of anonymity.
When asked Congress’ Jharkhand in charge Avinash Pandey said: “Meetings are ongoing to decide on the course of action.”
However, a day earlier in an interview with The Indian Express, Pandey had said that although the coalition was not under any anxiety, the political management of the crisis remained key.
