The BJP today broke from tradition and chose Raghuvar Das, the first non-tribal, to be the new chief minister of Jharkhand in 14 years since it was carved out of Bihar.
Das was a Deputy Chief Minister in the erstwhile Shibu Soren government but was out after Munda took over from Soren in the outgoing house. He will be the third chief minister of BJP after Babulal Marandi and Arjun Munda.
