Numbers clears Side
A political party needs a majority of 41 members to cross the majority mark in the 81-member assembly, and form a government in Jharkhand.
Notably, Champai Soren’s JMM currently has 29 seats in the assembly, while its ally, the Congress, has 16 seats and the RJD has one.

Champai Soren took oath as the new chief minister of the state on February 2. The incident takes place after JMM leader Hemant Soren resigned as the chief minister and subsequently got arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged land scam case.
Hemant Soren was also present in the Assembly to attend the floor test. A special court in Ranchi allowed Soren to participate in the trust vote.

Jharkhand BJP President Babulal Marandi said, “Champai Soren should make Jharkhand free of middlemen and corrupt officers. If he fulfils Hemant Soren’s dreams, then he will also fall into trouble. We only saw Hemant Soren looting. Today he (Hemant Soren) is facing the consequences.”
Cabinet Formation in Jharkhand
Jharkhand Minister Alamgir Alam says, “What happened in the Floor Test is what we had thought. We had approached the Governor with the Letter of Support on the first day itself. We had told him that 43 have signed it and we are 47 MLAs-strong…Today, the same was proved.”
“Very soon,” he says when asked about the expansion of state cabinet.

Thank you, gratitude!!
Thanks to all the honorable MLAs included in the alliance for supporting our government during the trust vote in Jharkhand Assembly. Our unity foiled the conspiracy to destabilize the state.
By giving impetus to the schemes started by Hemant Babu, our government will try to bring about a change in the standard of living of the tribals, indigenous people, Dalits and common people of the state.
Jai Jharkhand!!
