Ranchi:

After registering a decisive victory in the Jharkhand Assembly elections, Hemant Soren will take oath as the Chief Minister on Monday, sources said. Sören’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led alliance triumphed in the polls, setting the stage for his return as chief minister. Despite facing a stiff challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA alliance, which launched an aggressive campaign, the JMM managed to secure 56 seats in the 81-member assembly, far outstripping the BJP’s 24.

According to sources, Soren will meet Jharkhand Governor Santosh Gangwar today to stake claim to form the government.
