On July 8, when Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren takes the floor test, the changed political landscape will throw up multiple challenges before Hemant Soren. Making sense of what the change may entail, one can see the fact that for the first time in the state, no MLA was sworn in as a minister along with the chief minister. Media reports say that it was a well-planned strategy not to swear in any minister before the floor test.
The performance of the coalition in this Lok Sabha election is also unprecedented as they won 5 out of 14 seats. All of these five seats are ST-reserved. Political observers believe that sympathy over Soren's arrest actually helped the coalition to sail through the parliamentary elections and they don't want to lose the momentum. Jharkhand is going to the Assembly polls later this year.
