Ranchi, May 24: Expressing surprise over BJP’s decision to withdraw support to the Shibu Soren government, JMM today said the party chief would choose his allies in the run up to the floor test but did not come clear if any deal was made with Congress.
“We don’t know under what circumstances BJP took the decision even before tomorrow’s deadline. Everything was decided and JMM even gave in writing to BJP to take over the reins with our support,” JMM legislative party leader Hemant Soren told a press conference here.
The JMM legislative party meeting was held after BJP’s withdrawal of support and the party has authorised the chief minister to decide on the future shape of his coalition, he said.
“We will put everything before you (media) within two or three days,” he said, adding they were opposed to President’s rule in Jharkhand.
