Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren met Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Monday and discussed several issues related to the coalition government in the state, including filling up vacant Cabinet berths, and the farmers protest against the Centre's new agriculture laws.

Mr Soren, who is heading a coalition government of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), met Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi at the Congress chief's 10 Janpath residence. Congress' Jharkhand in-charge RPN Singh was also present during the meeting.

Mr Singh said it was a courtesy meeting as Mr Soren had not met Ms Gandhi for over a year.

JMM sources said that during the meeting Mr Soren also discussed the roadmap of the coalition government going forward after completing one year in office last month.
