Earlier, he addressed the House and sought a trust vote in the special one-day session as uncertainty continued over his political future and the ruling coalition.
Stating that obstacles are being presented before the state government, Soren said the onus of poaching Congress MLAs, who were caught in Bengal with a huge amount of cash, lies with Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
BJP legislators protested at the entrance of the Jharkhand assembly ahead of the session during which the Hemant Soren govt would bring a confidence motion. Dumka murders 'Love Jihad' on agenda. BJP says they never called for Confidence motion and it's an agenda to deviate from Dumka murder case.

“Three of our MLAs are in Bengal. The onus of poaching (of MLAs) in Bengal lies on Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma. They don't cooperate with police going to those states to probe this,” Soren
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) boss came to the House along with a large number of MLAs belonging to the ruling coalition of the JMM, Congress, and Rashtriya Janata Dal.
A day ago, the legislators flew back to Ranchi after spending days at a resort in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur resort amid alleged fears of the Opposition BJP's attempts to lure them to the other camp. Soren had met the legislators last night at the circuit house where they spent the night.
The political crisis in Jharkhand emerged after a petition by the BJP sought Soren's disqualification from the Assembly in an office of profit case. The BJP has accused Soren of allocating a mining lease to himself while he held the state Mining portfolio in 2021.
In February this year, the BJP submitted a memorandum to the governor Ramesh Bais seeking disqualification of Soren from the House under Section 9(A) of the Representation of People's Act.
The Election Commission has submitted its decision in this regard to the governor, however, the same is yet to be made public.

Dumka teen death: CM Hemant Soren says such incidents keep happening
A day after a 16-year-old girl was found hanging from a tree in Dumka, Chief Minister Hemant Soren Sunday triggered a row by saying that “such incidents keep happening”, comments that the opposition saw as downplaying of the incident.
The girl, who the police said had allegedly been raped, was found dead just days after another teenage girl died after being set on fire by a man “whose advances she had spurned”.
When asked by reporters present outside his residence to comment on the deteriorating law and order situation in the state, Soren said: “Ghatna to hoti rehti hain, ghatna kahan nahi hota hai. Ghatna to bol ke aata nahi hai. Isko kis tareeke se liya jaaye (The incidents do happen, and happen everywhere, and it does not warn before happening. How does one see it). I have said whatever I had to say earlier.”
On Saturday, while commenting on the fresh incident, Soren had tweeted his “anguish” saying “The accused has been arrested and has asked the Dumka Police to ensure justice.”

However, after Soren’s remarks on Sunday, BJP state president and Rajya Sabha MP Deepak Prakash took to social media and called the CM’s statement “very shameful”. “The CM does not know how to keep people safe,” he wrote.
Godda MP Nishikant Dubey also slammed Soren for the comments. “Tukde tukde gang should take notice,” he wrote on social media. Legislature Party leader Babulal Marandi said: “I feel pity on the…Chief Minister’s rubbish thinking.”
Meanwhile, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief Priyank Kanoongo on Sunday said his team will visit Jharkhand to take stock of the probe status. Kanoongo said he and his team would meet police officers during his Monday visit to the state to find out details of two recent cases of teenagers’ death in Dumka, news agency PTI reported.
