Ranchi, January 06: JMM’s jailed MLA Poulus Surin took oath as a member of Jharkhand assembly today.
Surin, who has been charged with having naxal links, was brought from Simdega jail after a local court’s permission.
He attended the day’s proceedings.
Chief Minister Shibu Soren will face the trust vote tomorrow.
Surin was arrested on June 9 last year for allegedly having links with Peoples Liberation Front of India, days after the banned outfit attacked the members of Jharkhand Pradesh Janta Raksha Manch at Kuladurung in Simdega district and killed three.
He fought the polls from behind the bars and defeated BJP’s Koche Munda by 17,799 votes from Torpa seat.
He said “I am happy but am ignorant (about the proceedings). I am happy too for winning the polls from jail.
