In the backdrop of conflicting claims about an accord on rotational leadership of the coalition, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday decided to withdraw support to the Arjun Munda-led BJP Government in Jharkhand, pushing it to a minority and threatening its survival.
JMM leader and Deputy Chief Minister, Hemant Soren, said the decision was “unanimous” and was taken after talking to several BJP leaders, including its Jharkhand affairs in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan.
“After a series of meetings, JMM has decided to withdraw support to the (BJP-led) Government,” Soren told the media here after the party’s executive committee meeting.
