Ranchi: Frustrated over the JMM backtracking on its power-sharing deal in Jharkhand, the BJP has withdrawn its support to the Shibu Soren government today.
On Sunday, State BJP spokesperson Sanjay Seth said, "The BJP will withdraw support to the JMM government tomorrow." A defiant Soren asserted during the weekend that he would continue as Chief Minister of Jharkhand and was in touch with the Congress.
A BJP delegation led by Jharkhand Deputy Chief Minister Raghuvar Das would meet Governor M O H Farook at 11.30 am and hand over the letter of withdrawal of support to the JMM government, Seth said.
Ahead of their meeting, former BJP president Rajnath Singh will hold discussions with Arjun Munda, the chief ministerial candidate, and Das.
The BJP parliamentary board had on April 28 decided to withdraw support to the JMM government after Soren voted against the party-sponsored cut motion against the UPA government in the Lok Sabha a day earlier.
However, the decision was put on hold when JMM Legislature Party leader and Soren's son Hemant wrote a letter to BJP chief Nitin Gadkari, pledging support to a BJP-led government.
But the JMM backtracked and demanded rotational power sharing with each party leading the government for 28 months.
This was agreed to by the BJP on the understanding that Soren would quit as Chief Minister by May 25 after which Munda would head the new coalition government.

I think it is high time that BJP realized that it would not do it good to bank on the strength of others. Its own strength, even if weak, should be more important. It can hope to build its strength and come to power, but banking on the whims and fancies of others will only deplete its strength and credibility.
