Ranchi: A day after the All India Forward Bloc withdrew support to the UPAcoalition Government led by him, Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda today (Feb9, 2007) said there was no threat to his regime and he enjoyed the majority inthe House.
"I did not get any such letter (announcing withdrawl of support). I learntabout it only through the media. I will speak to Debabrata Biswas (AIFB generalsecretary) on his party's grievances," Koda said when asked for hisreaction.
The withdrawl of support would not have "any impact" on thefour-and-half month old government, he said and hoped that AIFB wouldreconsider its decision and not give any chance to communal forces like the NDAto come to power.
"The secular forces had joined hands and formed the UPA government. Andany tug-of-war among us will only benefit the BJP-led NDA, whom the people ofJharkhand had been disillusioned with," Koda said.
Upset over the induction of AIFB suspended MLA Bhanu Pratap Sahi into the Kodaministry as the in-charge of the health portfolio, the party had last nightwithdrawn its support given from outside.
While Sahi insisted that he was an independent MLA as he had been expelled fromAIFB, the left party maintained that it suspended him for anti-partyactivities.
