He said that there is no resentment among the MLAs of Jharkhand Congress and the entire unit is united. "News about resentment among party workers is completely false," he added. Singh said that all the MLAs who meet him demanded a 20-point program and I will take this issue with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and RJD. "I hope the 20-point program will be constituted and implemented soon. We will root out corruption," he added.
According to sources, a half dozen Congress MLAs reached Delhi to meet Singh following a conflict within party members. Notably, Jharkhand Congress President Rameshwar Oraon is also holding a ministerial post in the state government. Likewise, Alamgir Alam is the leader of the Congress Legislature Party and a minister in the Jharkhand government. Sources said that Congress MLAs want to implement one person one post policy and the post of state president and leader of the legislature party should be given to someone else.

Congress MLAs also want participation in board and corporation and want amendment in 20 point program, sources added. However, Singh has dismissed all such speculations by saying that no MLA has made any such demand. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a coalition government of Congress and RJD in Jharkhand. Congress has a total of 16 MLAs while Hemant Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is the Chief Minister of the state.
