He said President's rule would rid the state of the ongoing unethical tussel amongst some political parties to gain power in Jharkhand, Kumar said. Kumar also disapproved BJP's repeated bids for power in Jharkhand over the past one month and said that the saffron party should have stuck to its decision to withdraw support to the JMM-led coalition government headed by the Chief Minister, Shibu Soren, after the cut motion in Parliament.
