jmm-led-alliance-to-contest-all-81-seats-in-jharkhand

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced that the JMM-led alliance will contest all 81 seats in the upcoming assembly elections.

 

 Speaking after a central committee meeting of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday, Soren expressed confidence in the party's electoral preparedness and asserted that the alliance would regain power in the state.

 

 Assembly elections are likely to be announced soon, as the tenure of the Vidhan Sabha is set to end on January 5, 2025.

 

"I participated in the JMM central committee meeting today along with all other workers and executive committee members. We reviewed our election preparedness, and we are confident of winning the assembly elections. The JMM-led alliance will contest all 81 seats," Soren said after the meeting.

 

He stated that, unlike the opposition BJP, the JMM-led alliance does not believe in making only announcements, as it has executed several welfare schemes.

 

JMM legislator and Soren's wife, Kalpana Soren, expressed confidence in their victory, noting that they were voted to power in 2019 despite a "double-engine" BJP government. Rajya Sabha MP Mahua Majhi emphasised that the JMM has empowered women through various initiatives, contrasting this with the previous BJP regime, which faced criticism over issues related to women's trafficking.

 

In a statement, the JMM announced that the central president (Shibu Soren) and executive president (Hemant Soren) of the party were authorised by the central committee for the division of assembly constituencies with alliance partners, as well as the selection of candidates for the party.
