The Jharkhand Governor is likely to send a second status report to the Centre soon as the Congress and RJD seek more time for exploring the possibility for formation of a new government in the state. In their separate meetings, the leaders of these parties urged the Governor not to dissolve the state Assembly.

However, a delegation of left parties and the legislature party leader of AJSU, Sudesh Mahto, during their meeting with the Governor, favoured desolution of the Assembly and holding of fresh elections. The Jharkhand Vikas Morcha Chief Babulal Mirandi has also called for holding a fresh election in the state.

The Arjun Munda government while resigning had also recommended to the Governor to dissolve the Assembly after it was reduced to a minority following withdrawal of support by the JMM on the 8th of this month.
