JMM executive president Hemant Soren on Thursday took oath as the 13th chief minister of Jharkhand.

He was administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor CP Radhakrishnan at the Raj Bhavan here, an official said.

Soren’s father and JMM supremo Shibu Soren, his mother Rupi Soren, wife Kalpana and senior leaders of the JMM-led alliance were present at the swearing-in ceremony.

Champai Soren, who resigned as the chief minister on Wednesday, was also present.

Hemant Soren was released from jail on June 28 after the High Court of Jharkhand granted bail to him in a money-laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.

He had resigned as the CM shortly before his arrest on January 31 by the Enforcement Directorate.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
