BJP-JMM Govt will not last more than a year : Cong

New Delhi, September 07: The BJP-JMM combine is likely to get the nod for formation of a government in Jharkhand tomorrow with Congress indicating that it wants the political process to play itself out and feels the coalition will fall apart within a year due to internal contradictions.

“If they (BJP-JMM) form a government, it will not last more than one year given the internal contradictions of their alliance and their past record. They will muddy the water so much in this period that Congress would emerge as the natural choice of the people when elections are held thereafter,” a senior party leader said on condition of anonymity.

Asked why Congress did not go for forming a government with JMM, the leader said there is a trust deficit with JMM.

“Even if we had formed the government with them, there is no guarantee of its stability.
