A big statement has come from the leader of Chief Minister Hemant Soren amid speculations of a major upheaval in the Jharkhand government. Putting an end to speculations about breaking of alliance between Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Congress, JMM leader Manoj Pandey has clarified the situation.

Manoj Pandey says that Hemant Soren’s government will complete its tenure. There will be no question of breaking the alliance. Why would the alliance break?

Why did Hemant Soren go to Delhi?

JMM leader Manoj Pandey has also responded to the ongoing political speculations after Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s visit to Delhi. He has said that Hemant Soren had gone to Delhi for personal reasons. Unnecessary speculations are being made about Jharkhand. Jharkhand government will complete its five-year tenure.

In fact, regarding the visit of Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana to Delhi, speculations had started that the JMM chief had gone there to meet the BJP high command. Speculations began to discuss the nexus between JMM and BJP in the upcoming elections.

What was the reaction of Congress?

When the Congress leader was questioned on this matter, state spokesperson Rakesh Sinha termed these speculations as baseless. He said that those who are thinking that there can be an alliance between JMM and BJP are wrong in their thinking.

Accusing BJP, Rakesh Sinha also claimed that all these rumors are being spread by BJP only to break the morale of the MLAs in Jharkhand. They do not have any official evidence regarding this. At the same time, the Congress leader claimed that India Alliance is strong in Jharkhand and Congress ministers under the leadership of Hemant Soren will continue to work for the development of Jharkhand.

BJP also rejected the speculations

Not only JMM or Congress, but BJP itself is calling such speculations as baseless that there can be an alliance between Hemant Soren and BJP. The BJP leader says that JMM and BJP are two sides of the ocean and can never come together. Hemant Soren’s visit to Delhi was not to meet BJP leaders. Only he can tell why he went to Delhi.

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has decided to separate from the Grand Alliance and contest elections in Bihar, due to which politics has intensified. BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav regarding this.

BJP targets Rahul-Tejashwi

Amit Malviya posted on X and said, “Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in Bihar released the list of its candidates and also announced that it is no longer a part of the Grand Alliance. Not only this, the party also said that after the Bihar elections, the alliance will be reconsidered in Jharkhand too. The arrogance of Rahul and Tejashwi is the real reason for the disintegration of the Grand Alliance. Bihar was saved.”

JMM will contest elections on six seats

JMM will contest from six assembly seats Chakai, Dhamdaha, Katoria (reserved), Manihari (reserved), Jamui and Peerpainti. Voting on these seats will be held in the second phase on November 11. JMM general secretary and spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya said, “The party has decided to contest the Bihar elections on its own. There are contradictions within the NDA as well as within the grand alliance. There is infighting on many seats. We will also review the alliance in the state as there has been betrayal every time.”

JMM targets grand alliance

He said, “Our party will not contest elections with the Grand Alliance. They have betrayed JMM. We will ensure that our party also participates in the next government formed in Bihar.” Internal strife is in full swing between RJD, Congress and Left parties in the Grand Alliance. Grand alliance parties are facing each other on many seats including Bachhwara, Rosra, Rajapakar.

Voting for 243 seats of Bihar Assembly will be held on November 6 and November 11 and counting of votes will take place on November 14. Before that, the entry of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, which was part of the Indian alliance, in this election has created trouble for RJD. JMM is trying to strengthen its hold in the border areas of Jharkhand-Bihar.

After this statement of Krishna Alavaru, it has become clear that the Congress is in a mood to show flexibility regarding seat sharing within the Grand Alliance. Also, if Owaisi’s party is involved or not, now all the responsibility is on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav.

In fact, the India alliance had recently organized two meetings for the preparations for the Bihar assembly elections and the sharing of seats, but the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha did not get any invitation for this. On the question of media in this regard, the General Secretary of JMM said, “If they are not calling us, we are not even going to enter there. It is our independent identity and it is certain that we will showcase our power there.”

‘We have to his only MLA…’

Bhattacharya further said, “We want to tell the Congress and RJD that in Jharkhand we kept them with us and gave proper respect. In the last assembly election, RJD had won only one seat in Jharkhand, but we kept his only MLA in the cabinet for a full five years. This is because we had come together in the election field and we should show all the coalition religion.

Please tell that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has been fielding its candidates in Bihar assembly elections even before this. In 2010, JMM candidate won the Chakai assembly seat. This time the party has identified 12 assembly seats adjacent to Jharkhand in Bihar, where it has influence.

The party believes that there is a large population of the tribal community in these areas, the policies of its tribal interest in these areas and the work done in Jharkhand can attract voters. JMM has already started meeting with local leaders and workers in these seats.
