Bihar chief minister, Nitish Kumar today demanded imposition of president's rule in Jharkhand to prepare ground for a fresh assembly poll in the state.

"Jharkhand should be brought under the president's rule and a fresh assembly polls be held to enable the people to give fresh mandate," he told reporters here.

He said president's rule would rid the state of the ongoing unethical tussel by some political parties to gain power in Jharkhand, Kumar said.

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.
