The Hemant Soren government today won the vote of confidence in the Jharkhand Assembly. Forty-five Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) )-led alliance legislators voted in favour of the confidence motion. Earlier, Chief Minister Hemant Soren moved a confidence motion in the state assembly, where a debate was held. During the division of votes, the opposition created a ruckus and shouted slogans against the Soren government. The house adjourned sine die after the trust vote.

 

The 48-year-old Soren was sworn in as Chief Minister of the state on July 4th, within a week of being granted bail in a money laundering case tied to an alleged land scam. The oath ceremony of ministers is likely to be held this afternoon. New faces are likely to be included in the cabinet.
