“We have submitted the letter to the Governor and informed him that JMM's withdrawal of support has reduced the government into a minority,” Soren told newsmen after submitting the letter.

He was accompanied by his father JMM supremo Shibu Soren and other party leaders to Raj Bhavan.  Reacting to it, Munda said, “Such letters are not faxed. One should physically submit them to the Governor.”

Congress, however, said in Delhi that the Jharkhand Cabinet's decision recommending dissolution of the Assembly was “not binding” on the Governor as it was done by the Munda government after being reduced to a “minority”.
