The dispute over imposition of President's Rule and holding a mid-term elections in Jharkhand has now been shifted from Ranchi Raj Bhavan to New Delhi after the state governor Syed Ahmed sent his final report to the Union home ministry following talks with the representatives of all political parties after withdrawal of support to Arjun Munda led NDA government by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha
Chief Minister Arjun Munda had resigned on January 7.
A Raj Bhavan source said that the governor held talks with constitutional experts before sending his reports to the Centre.
After an in-depth study that emerged from the discussions with the representatives of the political parties, the governor made the conclusion that in current political situation no party could form a stable government at this juncture, said the source.
Political observers said that JMM supremo Shibu Soren had withdrawn his party's support from the Arjun Munda government, deciding to form alternative government soon after Arjun Munda denied that the 28-month power sharing deal between JMM and BJP was made with the JMM to transfer power to the JMM on completion of his 28-month tenure as chief minister.
Observers said that since last one year, prominent state Congress leaders had been hobnobbing with the Congress leaders in Delhi and brought their notices in regard to the failures of the NDA government in Jharkhand in various fields particularly in implementation of the Centre's sponsored development schemes in the state.
State Congress leaders had always briefed the Central ministers when they used to visit to the state.
