Jharkhand Chief Minister-in-waiting Champai Soren met Governor CP Radhakrishnan at Raj Bhawan on February 1 to press for starting the process of government formation.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Champai said that the governor has so far not given any time yet, but added that he was assured of starting the process soon. 

"We have demanded from the Governor that the process to start the formation of the new Government should begin. The Governor has also assured us that the process will begin soon. Currently we have submitted the report with 43 MLAs in our support. We expect that the number will reach 46-47 so there is no problem. Our 'gathbandhan' is very strong," he said.

At least 18 hours have passed since Champai was elected as the leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha after Hemant Soren stepped down as the CM and was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a corruption case.
