Ranchi (26.08.2022): Yet another non-BJP Chief Minister’s existence is under threat as Hemant Soren's continuation as Jharkhand CM remains uncertain. The Election Commission of India (ECI) is understood to have conveyed its decision in the office-of-profit allegation against him to Governor Ramesh Bais.
The Governor, who returned from Delhi, did not immediately summon the CM but state BJP leaders claimed that Soren's disqualification as an MLA has been recommended by the ECI. An ECI official in Delhi said that the recommendation in the case has been sent in a sealed cover.
The matter was referred to the ECI after the BJP complained to the Governor about Soren allocating a mining lease to himself while holding the portfolio of Mines Minister in 2021. The ECI was asked to examine the matter and recommend whether Soren should be disqualified or not.
