NEW DELHI: Jharkhand governor CP Radhakrishnan on Thursday invited JMM president Hemant Soren to form government, a day after Champai Soren resigned from chief minister's post.
According to the party, the oath-ceremony will be held on July 7.
"Governor has invited us to form the government. The swearing in ceremony will be held on July 7," Bhattacharya said.
Champai Soren resigned from the post just five months after taking the oath, setting the ball rolling for Hemant Soren to again take over the role.
"A few days ago, I was made the Chief Minister and I got the responsibility of the state. After Hemant Soren was back, our alliance took this decision and we chose Hemant Soren as our leader. Now, I have resigned from the post of Chief Minster," Champai Soren told reporters.
Champai Soren took oath as the Chief Minister of Jharkhand in the Raj Bhavan on February 2 this year.
After staking a claim to form government in Jharkhand, the JMM executive president said that the details of everything would be shared soon.
"The CM (Champai Soren) has told you everything...We will tell you everything in detail. We have followed all procedures," said Hemant Soren.
The party sources said that leaders and MLAs of the alliance during a meeting at CM Champai Soren's house unanimously decided to elect Hemant Soren as JMM legislature party leader. Besides Hemant Soren's brother Basant and wife Kalpana, Congress 's Jharkhand in-charge Ghulam Ahmad Mir and its state president Rajesh Thakur also attended the meeting where the decision was taken.
Hemant Soren had tendered his resignation from the CM post before his arrest on January 31. On June 28, Soren walked out of the Birsa Munda Central Jail after he was granted bail by the Jharkhand high court.
He was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in January on charges related to an alleged land scam and money laundering.
