West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Hemant Soren as Jharkhand chief minister in Ranchi on December 29, TMC sources said.<\/p>\n
With top opposition leaders of the country scheduled to attend the programme, Soren’s swearing-in ceremony is likely to be a “show of unity” in the wake of countrywide protests against the amended Citizenship Act and the proposed pan-India NRC.<\/p>\n
“We share a very good relationship with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Hemant Soren. So far, it has been decided that our party supremo along with some senior leaders would attend Soren’s swearing-in ceremony on December 29,” a senior TMC leader said.<\/p>\n
The ceremony will be more of a “show of strength and unity of opposition leaders”, he said.<\/p>\n
“This would send out a very crucial political message in the wake of ongoing unrest across the country over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act,” another senior TMC leader said.<\/p>\n
Banerjee, earlier this week, had written to all opposition leaders and chief ministers to unite and fight together against the amended Citizenship Act and the proposed NRC.<\/p>\n
Soren was projected as the chief ministerial candidate of the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance in the recent Jharkhand assembly elections.<\/p>\n
The three-party alliance has won 47 of the state’s 81 seats. The JMM won 30 seats, Congress 16 and RJD one.<\/p>\n
The BJP clinched 25 seats, the AJSU Party two, the JVM (P) three and others four.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
