Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has withdrawn support from the the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in Jharkhand. This has happened after the JMM wants Arjun Munda to step down from the post of Jharkhand Chief Minister. Sources say JMM chief Shibu Soren while asking for a change of leadership within the BJP told Arjun Munda to either step down and hand power to JMM or to make someone else from the BJP chief minister.

However, the BJP refused to give any commitment to the JMM on sharing power in the mineral-rich state, sources say. The BJP leadership is convinced that the JMM can't be in power in Jharkhand without its support. Details here.
