Over 40 Jharkhand MLAs from the ruling alliance flew back to Ranchi from Hyderabad ahead of a crucial floor test that is scheduled to take place on Monday, 5 February.

The MLAs, including those from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress, had been whisked away to Hyderabad on Thursday, 2 February, in an attempt to counter "poaching" of the legislators.

A political crisis had erupted in Jharkhand last week following the resignation and subsequent arrest of former Chief Minister Hemant Soren by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with an alleged multi-crore land scam.
