New Delhi: Where has JMM supremo Shibu Soren disappeared?
Popularly known as âGurujiâ in Jharkhand, the 64-year old tribal leader is giving anxious moments to the UPA government as stand of its five Lok Sabha members on the trust vote is still a closely guarded secret.
The day began with Congress leaders trying to establish contact with Soren and "seek his party's support" for the July 22 vote.
The JMM leader arrived in the capital late on Wednesday night from Kolkata and went into hiding since then keeping Congress managers on tenterhooks throughout the day.
With stalwarts of the Congress throwing up their hands in failing to trace Soren, who nurses a grievance that he has not been re-inducted into the Union cabinet, the job was handed over to Mabel Rebello -- a little known party MP, elected to Rajya Sabha from Jharkhand.
MPs belonging to the Jharkhand outfit are among over 20 Lok Sabha members who hold the key to the fate of the government during Tuesday's confidence vote.
