Amid speculations of Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren being disqualified after Election Commission of India's recommendation to the governor Ramesh Bais, the CM has called a meeting of UPA MLAs today at his residence in Ranchi, reported news agency ANI.

On Thursday, ECI sent a letter to Jharkhand Raj Bhawan asking the governor Ramesh Bais to disqualify Hemant Soren as a legislator for violating electoral norms, according to the news agency.

However, the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) denied receiving any communication in this regard from the governor or the Election Commission of India.
