Jharkhand may go under President's rule today

January 17, 2013 08:55

The Union Cabinet is likely to recommend on Thursday the imposition of President's rule in Jharkhand, which is facing political instability, while keeping the assembly in suspended animation.

The state is expected to come under a spell of central rule as no party or combination of parties is in a position to form a government in the wake of fall of the BJP-led coalition last week, official sources said.

The Home Ministry has prepared a note on the basis of the report sent by Governor Syed Ahmed which will be placed before the Cabinet on Thursday, the sources said.

The Governor has recommended President's rule in the state while keeping the assembly under suspended animation.

The recommendation was made in his second report to the Centre on the political situation in the wake of the resignation of Chief Minister Arjun Munda who also sought dissolution of the assembly after Jharkhand Mukti Morcha withdrew support to his government.
