"The Congress has always desired for a dispensation that could provide a transparent governance with
development-driven goals in Jharkhand," he said.

For the seventh time in nearly nine years, Jharkhand has plunged into a political crisis after the BJP announced
withdrawal of support to the JMM-led government and would hand over a formal letter in this regard to Governor M O H Farooq.

In a last-ditch effort to salvage its government in Jharkhand, JMM MLA and Soren's son Hemant last night extended an olive branch to BJP by asking it to review its decision and said Chief Minister Shibu Soren was ready to resign and a new leader could be installed, if the BJP so desired.
