BOKARO: Jharkhand Chief Minister Mr Shibu Soren, who had agreed to share power with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the remaining term of the government and then did a volte face, on Saturday said “all options” were open for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and it was for the saffron party to look for them.

“It is for the BJP to look for options. I am in touch with both the Congress and BJP. All options are open. My government will stay,” Mr Soren, who has to step down as chief minister by June 30 if he is not elected to the assembly, told newsmen here. He said he would meet JMM legislators on Sunday in Ranchi and make “a final announcement.”
