New Delhi, April 28: In a damage control exercise after BJP’s ally JMM supported the government in the cut motions in Lok Sabha, its MP Hemant Soren today claimed that it happened by “mistake” and made it clear there was no move to form a government in Jharkhand with Congress backing.
“It has happened by mistake. It is a human error which happens due to confusion during voting. We met BJP President Nitin Gadkari last night and explained to him the real position,” Hemant, Rajya Sabha MP and son of Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren told PTI.
JMM’s sudden support to the UPA on the cut motions had yesterday set off speculation that new power equations may emerge in the tribal state and alter the party’s ties with coalition partner BJP.
