A day before the special assembly session on Monday, the UPA MLAs and ministers returned to Ranchi in a special flight on Sunday evening after six days at a resort in Chhattisgarh.
In between, none of the MLAs will be allowed to go home and will stay for a few more hours at the newly constructed circuit house in Ranchi.
Party insiders revealed that the MLAs will be taken directly to the assembly from the circuit house.
Notably, to keep the herd together, 32 MLAs from the ruling coalition were shifted to Raipur in Chhattisgarh on Tuesday. It seems that the ruling alliance has taken this decision against the background of possibility of horse trading by BJP.
Amid political uncertainty in Jharkhand, the Hemant Soren government is likely to seek confidence in a special assembly session on September 5, similar to the Delhi government.
It has been revealed in the letter sent to the MLAs by the Assembly Secretariat that the CM has expressed his willingness to move a confidence motion to prove the majority in the House.
Political experts say that by winning the trust test, the BJP is trying to send a message that despite the majority in the state, it is trying to destabilize the government.
Meanwhile, Soren, who accused the opposition of conspiring to destabilize his government, warned the BJP that a befitting reply would be given at the right time.
“The way the opposition is laying the net for us; all those nets are falling one by one.”The opposition will be thrown out in the same net," said Soren. But he refused to comment on the plans for Monday's special assembly session.
Former CM Raghubar Das, on the other hand, termed the ruling alliance's plan to seek a confidence motion in the assembly as a complete waste of money.
"The opposition has not asked the government to prove majority in the House, nor has the governor ordered it to do so," Das said.
Any declaration in the Assembly regarding 'Staniya Neethi' (Residential Policy) based on the 1932 Khatian would be a blind eye.
