Background and Government Formation
Summarize
Perspective
After the formation of Jharkhand on 15 November 2000, the first Legislative Assembly of Jharkhand was constituted by the MLAs elected in the 2000 Bihar Legislative Assembly election, whose constituencies were in the newly formed Jharkhand.[1] The 2005 election was the first one being conducted in Jharkhand.[2]
Shibu Soren of Congress-JMM alliance was invited to form the government, sparking controversy, but resigned nine days later, on 11 March, following his failure to obtain a vote of confidence in the assembly.
Then Arjun Munda of BJP-led NDA became the CM. In September 2006, Madhu Koda and three other independent legislators withdrew support to the Munda government, bringing it into the minority and led to resignation of Munda.[3]
The United Progressive Alliance, with support of Goans Party, Forward bloc and 3 independents, decided on Madhu Koda as consensus candidate who was sworn in on 14 September 2006, becoming third independent CM in the country.[4]
On 17 August 2008, JMM withdrew support from the Koda government. Shibu Soren again became the CM, but had to resign on 12 January 2009, after he failed to enter the Jharkhand assembly, suffering a humiliating defeat in the assembly bypoll.[5]
