JMM chief Shibu Soren was sworn in as chief minister of Jharkhand for the third time on Wednesday, alongwith two ministers from coalition partners, ending almost a year-long spell of President's rule in the state.
Besides 65-year old Soren, who heads a five-party coalition, BJP Jharkhand unit chief Raghubar Das and All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) chief Sudesh Mahato were sworn in as ministers at Morabadi ground by Governor K Sankaranarayanan.
Soren has been directed by the governor to prove his majority on the floor of the Assembly by January eight. Asked about expansion of the ministry, a senior BJP leader said, "The ministry can be expanded after Guruji (Soren) takes the floor test."
Soren has secured the support of 44 MLAs--JMM 18, BJP 18, JDU-2 AJSU 5 and JJM 1--in the 81-member House after the assembly elections in Jharkhand gave a fractured verdict.
