Ranchi, June 24: The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Sunday authorized party chief Shibu Soren to decide the party’s stand for the July 19 presidential poll even as it called for a consensus. The decision was taken at a meeting of the JMM’s core committee here, the party said. Speaking to mediapersons after the meeting, Soren’s son and Deputy Chief Minister Hemant Soren also said: “Consensus should be evolved for the presidential poll.” Of the three regional parties of Jharkhand, the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha-Prajatantrik (JVM-P), which has two Lok Sabha MPs and 11 legislators, has announced if would support United Progressive Alliance (UPA) candidate Pranab Mukherjee. JMM and All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) — alliance partners of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — have yet to take a decision. (IANS)
