October 02, 2024

THE Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Tuesday threatened the Congress that the party will contest the Assembly polls on all 81 seats if any question is raised on the leadership of Hemant Soren by the coalition partners.

- MUKESH RANJAN

JMM's reply came in response of the recent statement made by Jharkhand Congress in-charge Ghulam Ahmed Mir that if the Congress party wins 3040 seats in the Assembly polls, there might be a possibility that both JMM and Congress have Chief Ministers on rotational basis.

JMM General Secretary and Spokesperson Supriyo Bhattacharya cleared that those who agree to contest Jharkhand polls under JMM's leadership are welcome, otherwise the party is fully prepared to contest all 81 seats in Jharkhand.
