Hemant Soren's continuation as Jharkhand Chief Minister remained uncertain on Thursday as the Election Commission of India (ECI) is understood to have conveyed its decision in the office-of-profit allegation against him to Governor Ramesh Bais.
While the Governor, who returned from Delhi, did not immediately summon the Chief Minister, State BJP leaders claimed that Mr. Soren's disqualification as an MLA has been recommended by the ECI.
Earlier in the day, an ECI official in Delhi said that the recommendation in the case has been sent in a sealed cover.
