Sibu Soren takes oath as Chief Minister of Jharkhand JMM leader, Sibu Soren, becomes the Chief Minister of Jharkhand for the second time. Just like in a musical chair he is now sixth Chief Minister in a period of eight years. He was sworn in to the office by the Governor Shri Syed Sibtey Razi on 27th August, 2008. No sooner he became the Chief Minister he said: "I know that most of the red cards (distributed to below poverty line families) are in the custody of Public Distribution System (PDS) shop owners. These cards ought to be returned immediately to the cardholders..... The erring shop owners will be immediately put behind the bars". 7th Death Anniversary of martyrs of Tapkara Police Firing On 2nd February 2008 large number of
people from 73 villages of the Koel Karo project area gathered to pay
tribute to martyrs police firing. On this occasion the people were
addressed by Mr. P. N. Surin, Fr. Stans Swamy and Mr. Binkas Ecka all from
Ranchi who had gone to Tapkara to pay their respect. The meeting was
also addressed by the village leaders. It was a surprise. Everybody was awaiting for the results as it could turn out to be a prediction of the future scenario of politics in Jharkhand. The politics in Jharkhand is so confusing that everybody is looking forward to a trend setter. Mr. Ramchandra Ram of CPI won the Simaria Assembly by- Election. The event was caused by death of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) legislator Mr. Upendra Das. It is for the first time that CPI won an assembly seat in the newly created State of Jharkhand. Another party which gained most in politics is Mr. Babulal Marandi's Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (JVM-P) which came second in the voting result. Mr. Babulal Marandi was a former BJP man and the first Chief Minister of Jharkhand. Now he is a formidable challenge to BJP. The Congress Party came third in the race. Compared to the earlier elections of the Constituency it improved its vote bank manyfold. The BJP was relegated to the fourth position. Earlier it was the BJP which won the seats successively.
