In the presidential election this time out of 17 Congress MLAs from Jharkhand, 10 have cross-voted in favor of NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu going against party lines. Congress’s 18th MLA Pradeep Yadav, who left Marandi’s party and joined Congress, has not yet received recognition from the speaker. Nevertheless, to form a new party by defecting, the rebel Congress MLAs will have to mobilize at least two more MLAs from the Congress quota for themselves, only then will their defection get legal recognition. Anyway, ever since the central investigative agencies have tightened the noose on Hemant’s close friends, it is said that Hemant Soren has kneeled before the BJP leadership. Now the question arises whether he himself will bid goodbye to the Congress and form the government in Jharkhand with the BJP and will the BJP agree to form the government with him? The question is, where did the tribal love of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha go when in the past the JMM supported Pranab Mukherjee instead of PA Sangma, the tribal candidate for the presidency?
