None of the senior Congress leaders will be present at Birsa Mandap inside the Raj Bhawan in Ranchi tomorrow morning at 9.30 A.M when Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Hemant Soren will take oath as ninth chief minister of Jharkhand.
Even the Congress’s state unit President Sukhdeo Bhagat will not be there to greet Soren who is expected to take oath together with two MLAs of his allies-Congress’s Rajendra Prasad Singh and RJD’s Annapurna Devi as Ministers,according to JMM’s spokesperson Vinod Pandey.
”Bhagatji will be attending a meeting convened by the party President Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi.As such he will not be in Ranchi”,said a senior Congress leader.
Soren is expected to expand his Cabinet after he proves majority on the floor of the House.
