Madhu Koda New Head of Jharkhand

Four days after the BJP-led government lost its majority, independent MLA Madhu Koda has been sworn in as Jharkhand Chief Minister.Three other independent MLAs - Enos Ekka, Harinarayan Rai and Kamlesh Singh - were also sworn in with him.However, there is little clarity on the rest of Koda's cabinet as intense lobbying continues among RJD, JMM and independent legislators for ministerial berths. It is the fifth swearing-in ceremony in Jharkhand, but for the first UPA government is taking charge since it became a state less than six years ago.Arjun Munda resigned on September 14 without facing the trial of strength in the assembly after four of his ministers quit and withdrew support to his government, reducing it to a minority. Governor Syed Sibtey Razi has asked Koda to prove his majority in the Assembly by September 25.
