Jharkhand Cabinet to recommend dissolution of state assembly to Governor:CM Arjun Munda.

BJP government in Jharkhand today recommended dissolution of the state assembly after its coalition partner , Jharkhand Mukti Morcha,JMM withdrew its support to the government.Chief Minister Arjun Munda met the governor in Ranchi and apprised him of his cabinet's decision .Talking to reporters in Ranchi,said the decision was taken as no national party had openly come forward to provide an alternative government in the wake of the JMM’s announcement to pull out of the government.
JMM leader and Deputy Chief Minister Hemant Soren had said yesterday that the decision to withdraw support was taken at the party's executive committee meeting after talking to several BJP leaders, including its Jharkhand affairs in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan.
In the 82-member state assembly, BJP and JMM have 18 members each and the Munda government enjoys the support of six members of All Jharkhand Students' Union, two of JD (U),two independents and one nominated member who has voting right in trial of strength.
Opposition Congress has a total 13, Jharkhand Vikas Morcha(P)11 and RJD 5 members in the assembly.
JMM had put before BJP certain issues,including ruling by rotation. The 28-month limit for ruling by BJP, according to the tribal party, ends on January 10th.
Relations between BJP and JMM came under strain since the Chief Minister, in a written reply to a letter from JMM on January 3rd, rejected that there was an agreement between the two parties on rotation of power after 28 months in office.
JMM, however, insisted there had been an agreement to share power. Hemant Soren had in a letter to Munda on December 25th asked him to clarify BJP's stand on the issue.
