"The state is facing political instability since its formation a decade ago. It has promoted the culture of horse-trading and political bargaining. Present delay in dissolving the house will further aggravate the crisis," CPI said in a resolution approved at the party's two-day National Executive meeting which ended here today.

Stating that the state plunged into crisis as JMM withdrew its support to the BJP led coalition government, CPI said the Chief Minister has already resigned and suggested dissolution of the house and fresh polls.

"Our party expresses serious concern over the delaying tactics adopted by the Union government in dissolving the Jharkhand assembly," senior leader A B Bardhan told reporters.
