The meeting began after the brief extended monsoon session in presence of Railway Minster Lalu Prasad, Union Food Processing Minister Subodh Kant Sahay, Ms Noor Banu (Cong), in-charge of Jharkhand, Rajya Sabha member from the state Mebel Rebello and other senior leaders.

Mr Soren said the UPA would claim to form the government after the resignation of Mr Munda was accepted by the Governor.

Mr Madhu Koda, whose name as the Chif Ministerial candidate was announced yesterday by the Railway Minister, today said the matter would be decided in the UPA meeting.
