													Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren gestures to the media after a state Cabinet meeting in Ranchi on  Aug 25. (Photo: PTI)The Election Commission (EC) on Thursday recommended disqualification of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren as an MLA under Section 9A of the Representation of the People Act, which prohibits elected representatives from entering into contracts with the government for “supply of goods” or “for the execution of any works undertaken by the government.”

The Indian Express has learned that the Commission, in its opinion shared with Jharkhand Governor Ramesh Bais, has found Soren guilty of misusing his position to allot himself a stone mining lease.

Earlier in the day, after the EC sent the Jharkhand Governor its opinion on the question of Soren’s disqualification, the ruling JMM had said that the outcome, even if adverse, would not affect the state government.

Speaking to The Indian Express, a senior JMM state minister had said the government would approach the court in the event of an adverse decision.

“Based on the Governor’s order, the state government may file a legal appeal. So there is no danger to the government immediately. However, there will be some ramifications…party leaders and workers may get disillusioned as the Opposition (BJP) continues to attack us,” the minister said.
