The Union Cabinet on Tuesday recommended the lifting of President's Rule in Jharkhand to pave the way for the formation of a new government there on Wednesday.

The home ministry's note was placed before the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [ Images ], who approved it, official sources said.

The Cabinet recommendation will now go to President Pratibha Patil [ Images ] who will issue orders for lifting of the central rule imposed on January 19 this year.

This was necessitated following an invitation by Governor K Sankaranaryanan, to Jharkhand Mukti Morcha supremo Shibu Soren [ Images ], to take oath as chief minister on Wednesday.

The President cut short her visit to southern states, apparently due to the unrest in Hyderabad over the Telangana [ Images ] issue, and returned to the national capital today.

Rashtrapati Bhavan [ Images ] officials had said the departure of the President to Hyderabad has been deferred as she would like to be in Delhi [ Images ] at the time when President's rule in Jharkhand is revoked to facilitate the installation of a government there.

Soren, 65, who will become chief minister for the third time, will head a coalition that includes the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ]. The new government, which is taking the BJP support for the first time, will be the seventh coalition set-up in the mineral-rich state since its creation in November 2000.

The JMM-led coalition has a support of 44 Members of Legislative Assembly in the 81-member assembly.
