India's northern state of Jharkhand is becoming a case study of sorts in political possibilities. Firstly, an independent MLA with support of mainstream parties like Congress and RJD, was made the Chief Minister. This was a rare case but isn't politics an art where such rareities are made possible. Two, a strong regional leader, who till few days back was slated to take as a Union Minister, is set to return as CM. Interestingly, much like in Karnataka, independents including the outgoing CM will be the lifeline of the new leadership. Or will it not?
A spate of developments following the Trust Vote in Parliament over nuclear agreement with USA has led to a situation where Shibu Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), a man credited with the creation of this state, is all set to hold the mantle as Chief Minister.
It's been a dream that Soren, fondly called Guruji, has nurtured and it augurs well for the people of the state who find in him a liberator.
The tricky composition of the 81-member Assembly, however, makes the task of mustering the requisite number a little difficult for Guruji. But with the incumbent CM Madhu Koda finally resigning paving the way for Guruji, it could only be minor hiccups that would be bothering him.
Monday is a crucial day and it is hoped Guruji would emerge victorious.
