Parliament has approved extension of President's rule in Jharkhand by another six months with RS approving the measure after an assurance by the govt that assembly polls would be held there "at the earliest opportunity". Earlier Home MInister P Chidambaram had informed Lok Sabha that elections in the state should take soon. However, the Home Minister said practical difficulties in holding elections during monsoon in the state have to be taken into account. "I have to provide forces," he said.
“We will hold elections at the earliest opportunity. Whether the House is dissolved or kept in suspended animation, it is necessary to extend the President's rule", Home Minister P Chidambaram told the Upper House while replying to the discussion on the motion for extension of the Central rule. Holding the Centre responsible for political stalemate in Jharkhand, BJP and the Left parties on Friday demanded immediate dissolution of the state assembly and holding of fresh elections.
