Ranchi, May 11 (PTI) JMM has asked BJP to share power with them in Jharkhand on 50:50 basis, two days after the saffron party said it would head the coalition for the rest of the tenure (four and half years) of the present house.
Briefing newsmen late last night after Chief Minister Shibu Soren chaired a 3-hour-long legislature party meeting, his son Hemant Soren said the party would wait for BJP’s response to the sharing of power between the allies and would again discuss on the issue on May 12, depending on the ally’s stand.
“During the meeting with BJP President Nitin Gadkari and others, we proposed sharing of power for 28 months each. But now, we have learnt that BJP is willing to govern the state for a full term,” Hemant, JMM legislative party leader, said.
