According to sources, the future course of action will be chalked out during the meeting. The development comes a day after Soren lashed out at the BJP over the issue as reports started to emerge that the EC has recommended to Governor Ramesh Bais that Soren should be disqualified as an MLA.
Soren alleged that it seems that the report seems to have been drafted by the BJP leaders and puppets adding that he has not received any official communication in this regard. Sources said that the BJP leadership was confident regarding their petition to the EC against Soren. EC sources on Thursday told ETV Bharat on Thursday that the EC in its letter to Jharkhand Governor has recommended the cancellation of Soren's Assembly membership in relation to the mining lease case.
