Munda perfect to rule but can’t say for how long: Soren

BOKARO - Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Shibu Soren Saturday said Chief Minister Arjun Munda was the perfect choice to rule the state but also added that he can’t predict the longevity of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.

“I blessed Munda to rule Jharkhand as he is the perfect person for the job. But I cannot predict the longevity of the government. It is premature to predict life of a newborn government,” Soren told reporters here.

He blamed fractured mandate for the political instability in the state.

“We (politicians) have learnt lessons from the past and the present government is dedicated to the development of the state,” he added.

Munda became the eighth chief minister of Jharkhand Sep 11 with the support of the JMM, All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) and two independent legislators. He proved majority on the floor of the state assembly Sep 14.
