RANCHI, NOV 9: Independent MLA from Bokaro, Samresh Singh, on Thursday, ruled out his support to JMM chief Sibu Soren to help him form a government in Jharkhand, saying the JMM, by aligning with the RJD, had proved that it was an anti-Jharkhand party.

8220;Soren, by suddenly switching his loyalty to the RJD chief over the chief ministership issue of Jharkhand, had shown that he was power-greedy and had no sense of commitment to the people in the region,8221; Singh told newsmen here.

8220;Under no circumstances can we stand by the anti-statehood forces,8221; he added. Without clearly stating that he will go with the NDA, Singh said he would support 8220;that government in Jharkhand which rules the new state in accordance with the blueprint of its development8221;, prepared by his newly-floated outfit, Jharkhand Vananchal Congress.8217;

He said the development strategy, prepared by his organisaiton, would be submitted to the first chief minister of Jharkhand by a nine-member committee, headed by Kashinath Shahdeo. Stating that he was looking for rapid economic growth of the region, an alert administration and speedy justice, Singh said he would actively support a government that can ensure all this in the new state.
