Jharkhand chief minister-designate Hemant Soren on Wednesday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, and said the JMM-Congress-RJD coalition will provide a stable government that would last a full five-year term.
He also invited them for his swearing-in ceremony scheduled in Ranchi on December 29.
Those present during the brief meeting between Sonia Gandhi and Soren at her 10 Janpath residence included senior Congress leaders K C Vengopal and R P N Singh, who is the party's in-charge for Jharkhand.
When asked about talks over government formation, Soren told reporters: "You should wait, that will happen."
On whether he will invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders, Soren said," When we were fighting elections, I saw them as BJP, but now I see them as prime minister and home minister (Amit Shah)."
