No clarity on whether JMM to join NDA

New Delhi, Dec 28 (PTI) Though the BJP has managed to forge an alliance with JMM for government formation in Jharkhand, there is no clarity as of now on whether the Shibu Soren-led party will become part of the NDA. When asked whether the JMM will join the NDA as both parties have come together to form a coalition government in the state, JD(U) chief and NDA convener Sharad Yadav said, "a decision on this issue will be taken later." He was addressing a joint press conference in the presence of JMM chief Shibu Soren, senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha and president of All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) Sudesh Mahato.

On why the NDA decided to take JMM along when it had protested Soren''s alleged involvement in a murder case a few years back, Yadav said, "it is true that we had protested against Soren. We had reacted as per the situation prevailing then.

However, he was later acquitted by the High Court in the matter. Even I had refused to become a minister when I was chargesheeted in Hawala case.

" Recalling his long association with Soren during the agitation for Jharkhand state, the JD(U) leader said that the long unfulfilled dream of a model state will now be fulfilled with the BJP, JD(U), JMM and (AJSU) coming together to form a "stable and corruption-free government". "Development would be our focus and we will go all out against corruption.

Jharkhand is a mineral-rich state and its resources need to be used for the development of the state. Combating corruption will be our main challenge," he added.
