The coalition has total 48 MLAs from JMM, Congress and RJD in the 81-member assembly. Five MLAs did not turn up for the meeting. The meeting at Soren's residence came amid speculations that the CM, who is facing ED summons in a land scam case, might step down and install his wife Kalpana as his replacement from the Gandey assembly constituency, whose MLA Sarfaraz Ahmad resigned abruptly on December 31. Lawmakers who attended the meeting said no discussions over a change of face in the leadership were held.
