Cabinet gives a go ahead to presidential rule in Jh'hand

New Delhi, January17, 2013: The Union Cabinet has recommended imposition of President's rule in Jharkhand, which is facing political instability, while keeping the Assembly in suspended animation.

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

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 JMM withdrew support to his government.
