Ending the five-day long speculation on his continuance in the top post, Soren drove to the Raj Bhavan in Ranchi to submit his resignation to Governor Syed Sibte Razi.
However, before Soren could make it to the Governor's house, Marandi, who had been most vocal on the issue of the Chief Minister's resignation after his defeat to Jharkhand Party nominee Gopal Kirshna Patar at Tamar, arrived in the Raj Bhavan and put in his papers.
"The Chief Minister should have resigned soon after his defeat in the bypoll. Since that has not happened I have put in my papers," Marandi said and left as Soren's carcade entered the Raj Bhavan premises.
"As per democratic tradition, I have put in the papers," Soren told reporters.
The Governor said he would look into the possibilities for an alternative after going into the Constitutional and legal norms and conventions.
He, however, did not spell out as to what options were open in the aftermath of the Chief Minister's resignation.

Why are we so (UN)blessed with such scoundrels ? Why are we still not kicking the butts of such useless politicans? the people are equally responsible for electing such leaders. no wonder that the only good thing coming out of jharkhand is Dhoni...
Soren is a scoundrel but this Marandi is a crook. He fell out of Soren before last election but after that he supported him again. Now he has resigned and again its a fact that he would support Soren after the electtion.
SIBU SOREN IS VERY MUCH HIGHLY QUALIFIED TO BE THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA.HE IS A GENIUS POLITICIAN AND THE BEST DIPLOMAT. WITH SUCH A WIDE EXPERIENCE IN ALL FRONT HE IS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE. HE WILL BRING INDIA TO GREATNESS.(LOL)
Why PM of India? He is fit to be the President of USA if at all he is a US citizen. The loser is USA and of course, in such a situation, the gainer would have been, we the Indians
Thank heavens the scoundrel, Soren, is gone. Isn't there some way of keeping rotters like him out of elective offices and public life? The example and standards people like him set are a curse to the country.
Hopefully Prakash Karat may find a new ally in Shibu Soren, now that he has been thrown out of Mayawati, and soon will experience the same with Jayalalitha, Karat has another door... Shibu Soren!
It is a shameful that Shibu soren, who earned Rs.ixty lakhs as a bribe to save Narahingh Rao's Govt. was abosolved of his crime by Supreme court and instead of spending his life in jail was chosen to be the chief minisister of a sate. Shame on our democracy and shame on the UPa leaership, collarborators of this this shameful choice.
In order to take on the "communal forces", UPA (Sonia Gandhi) has to do all these things. The secular action of UPA encouraging actions of Sibu Soran should be seen in this context.
