POLL BUGLE?
Is Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren preparing for a fresh election? Though assembly polls are still two years away, various units of his party, the JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha), have been pushing the twitter trend #HemantnahitoKaun (who else but Hemant?), fuelling the speculation. With Soren already on the back foot with the Election Commission’s disqualification notice over a mining lease and the Jharkhand High Court hearing the PIL against him, the JMM leader is perhaps thinking out of the box. The recent ouster of non-BJP CM Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra may have been another catalyst.
