Background
Jharkhand Government Floor Test HIGHLIGHTS: Jharkhand's newly established Champai Soren administration will seek a trust vote in the legislature on Monday. The state was thrown into a political crisis after Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) president 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. On February 1, Governor C P Radhakrishnan named Champai Soren, the state transport minister and JMM leader, as Chief Minister-designate.
Meanwhile, 40 MLAs from Jharkhand's JMM-led coalition, who had been transported to Hyderabad for three days because to fears of horse trade, returned to Ranchi on Sunday evening. The legislators were confident of winning the trust vote in the assembly on Monday, shortly after their return. A special court has also authorised the former CM to take the floor test today.
The ruling alliance now has 47 MLAs in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, after Gandey MLA Sarfaraz Ahmed resigned on January 2 apparently to accommodate Hemant Soren's wife Kalpana, as the former Chief Minister's arrest appeared likely. The JMM has 29 MLAs, while its partners, Congress and RJD, have 17 and one, respectively. According to sources, Vinod Singh, the only CPI(ML) MP, has also extended its support to the alliance.
Hemant Soren, Jharkhand's former chief minister, will be released from jail on Monday to vote during the floor test, after a special court in Ranchi granted him permission on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the BJP's top whip, Biranchi Narain, stated that the JMM-led alliance was likely to lose the vote of confidence. "The MLAs in Hyderabad were kept under strict surveillance, which indicates that they were not confident of winning," added Singh.
Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday stated that he was confident that the INDIA alliance parties will win the floor test in the 81-member Jharkhand assembly.

Jharkhand Floor Test Live — 'Have Fought, Will fight! We Won, We Will Win': Ex-CM Hemant Soren's Wife Kalpana
Soon after the ruling JMM-led alliance proved its majority and her husband, former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, made a fiery speech ahead of the trust vote in Jharkhand assembly on Tuesday, Kalpana Soren took to 'X' to announce that the fight against 'injustice and oppression' will continue.
The 48-year-old Kalpana Soren, who was previously considered a frontrunner for the position of chief minister but faced opposition from Sita Soren, the elder daughter-in-law of Shibu Soren, said, "I have fought, and I will continue to fight! We have won, and we will win!" She posted, "Until Jharkhand warrior (Hemant Soren) defeats the conspiracy of the Centre and BJP and joins us, I will manage his account. Our brave forefathers fought against injustice and oppression, and now the time has come again. May your love and blessings remain the same." The JMM-led coalition government, led by Chief Minister Champai Soren, comfortably won the vote of confidence with 47 MLAs voting in favour and 29 legislators opposing it in the 81-member assembly.
