Hemant Soren takes oath as Jharkhand CM

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha executive president Hemant Soren on Thursday took oath as Jharkhand chief minister day after Champai Soren stepped down from the post months ahead of the assembly election.

“Today is July 4. On Jan 31, from the same place, I conveyed a message to you all on how the opposition has conspired against me. They were successful.



For five months, they tried to keep me inside the jail by different means. We took the legal path and people supported us,” Soren had said before taking oath.

Soren on Wednesday met governor CP Radhakrishnan at the Raj Bhavan in Ranchi and formally staked claim to form the government, this after his predecessor Champai Soren tendered his resignation.
