Chief Minister of Jharkhand has already avoided seven summons of ED on different grounds. The enforcing agency is empowered to arrest him after examination and the non-appearance before the agency has given power to arrest him at any time source says. The debate is going on in political circles after Hemant who will head the government source says. Some quarters forward the name of his wife Kalpana, who is originally from Odisha source says. In the meantime, the Governor has gone to his hometown in Tamilnadu and no date of his return has been announced so far source says. Sarfaraz Ahmad, the most loyal MLA has resigned from his seat probably to pave the way for by-election source says. The first sitting of the Jharkhand assembly was on 6th January 2020 after elections held in December 2019. As per law, bye-elections can only be held if the period is more than one year, and in this case, the by-election in this unreserved seat is not looking possible source says. JMM has 47 seats out of a total of 80 seats and there is no bar on CM working from Jail as per law source says. Kalpana Soren is not Adiwasi and it’s purely under the discriminatory power of the Governor to administer oath to her or not source says. The reason for the resignation of Sarfaraz Ahmad is still a mystery source says.
