Jharkhand Trust Vote: Congress Confident Of I.N.D.I.A Win, Says 'G-2 In For Big Shock'

Jairam Ramesh highlighted that INDIA bloc will easily win in the Jharkhand floor test today, and the BJP's manoeuvre at "breaking" Congress and RJD in Bihar will also "fail miserably".

Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Monday stated that he is confident that INDIA bloc parties will win the floor test in the 81-member Jharkhand assembly today. He further highlighted that the BJP's manoeuvre at "breaking" Congress and RJD in Bihar will also "fail miserably". Taking to X, Ramesh stated: "The INDIA group will easily win the vote of confidence today in Jharkhand and the BJP’s attempts at breaking RJD and INC in Bihar will also fail miserably."

While laying down the recent political developments to disband the INDIA alliance, Ramesh stated: "On 28th January, Nitish Kumar resigns as CM of Bihar. On 28th January, Nitish Kumar is sworn in as CM of Bihar and given time till Feb 12 for proving his alliance's majority on the floor of the Assembly. On 31st January, Hemant Soren resigns as CM of Jharkhand. On 2nd February, Champai Soren is sworn in as CM of Jharkhand and given time till Feb 5th to prove his alliance's majority on the floor of the Jharkhand Assembly." 

Taking a jibe at PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Ramesh said: "Clearly the G-2, the PM and HM, are thinking that ‘horse-trading’ will be quicker in Jharkhand than in Bihar. They are in for a big shock." 

Jharkhand's newly formed Champai Soren government will seek a trust vote in the legislative assembly on Monday.

The state was thrown into a political crisis after Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Hemant Soren resigned as president Minister and was later detained on January 31 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case.

The governing coalition now has 47 MLAs in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, after Gandey MLA Sarfaraz Ahmed quit on January 2 apparently to accommodate JMM Chief Hemant Soren's wife Kalpana, as the former Chief Minister's arrest appeared likely.
