JMM, Congress nail J'khand social configuration in diverse landscape

At that meeting, Hemant Soren discussed the poll strategy and seat-sharing formula for the INDIA bloc, batting for the inclusion of the CPI-ML (Liberation) in the coalition to make the contest bipolar in the two-phased assembly elections.

"Our leadership agreed to the plan and decided that Hemant will have the final word in campaign and seat sharing. It was also decided that in some seats there would be friendly contests," a Congress leader aware of the matter said.

To accommodate three seats to the CPI-ML (Liberation), the Congress agreed to give away two seats and be in a friendly fight in one seat. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also agreed to part with one seat and be in a friendly fight in another.
