Champai Soren sworn in as new Chief Minister of

Jharkhand

JMM legislature party leader Champai
Soren on 2 February took oath as the Chief
Minister of Jharkhand at the Raj Bhavan in
Ranchi. This comes two days after Hemant
Soren's resignation as the CM and his arrest
by the ED.

minister's post on Thursday after he urged
the governor to accept his claim to form the
government at the earliest as there was
"confusion" in the state which was without a
chief minister since the resignation of
Hemant Soren on Wednesday, deepening a
political crisis. Champai Soren has been
given 10 days to prove his government's
majority, said state Congress chief Rajesh Thakur whose party is a constituent of the JMM-led alliance.
The 67-year-old tribal leader sworn in as the 12th chief minister of the state. He is the sixth CM from the
Jharkhand’s Kolhan region which comprises East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum and Seraikela-Kharsawan
districts.
During the oath taking ceremony, senior Congress leader Alamgir Alam, RJD leader Satyanand Bhokta
