They had decided to support the BJPs bid to renew its lease over Jharkhand were suddenly left staring at the prospect of becoming the most wanted after it became clear that the state was heading for regime change.

Congress+JMM thought independent MLAs would go through neighboring Chhattisgarh ruled by BJP. But this was wrong. Newly CM filed FIR against BJP for kidnapping the independents.
