Jammu and Kashmir hit by 5.8 magnitude earthquake, no casualties reported
Jharkhand's political landscape witnessed a stir as Congress MLA Irfan Ansari returned from Delhi, making startling revelations regarding the recent cabinet expansion in the state. Ansari cited pressure from party workers and dissatisfaction with the cabinet's composition, prompting him and other Jharkhand Congress leaders to seek redressal from the party's high command. According to Ansari, despite being in alliance with the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), concerns were raised about the adequacy of the cabinet expansion, leading them to voice their grievances in Delhi.
In response to the discontent, Ansari conveyed that discussions with the party's high command yielded positive outcomes, with assurances of forthcoming changes in the Jharkhand Congress and cabinet structure. While affirming trust in the party's leadership, Ansari highlighted the significance of public interest and acknowledged the guidance received from senior party members. The crisis looming over the Champai Soren government appears to have been temporarily averted with the assurance of impending alterations, as the return of Jharkhand Congress MLAs signals a step towards resolving internal dissent within the coalition government.
