Stage set for clash of women in four crucial J'khand seats
The Morning Standard
|October 31, 2024
JHARKHAND is preparing for an exciting contest, particularly among women candidates in four key seats.
The most high-profile seat among these is Gandey, where BJP's Munia Devi is pitted against Kalpana Soren, wife of Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The other contested seats include Dumri, Ramgarh, and Jharia.
Gandey has garnered significant attention due to Kalpana Soren's candidacy. The seat made headlines when Sarfaraz Ahmad resigned from the seat, apparently to make way for Kalpana Soren after Hemant Soren's arrest on January 31 in a money laundering case linked to land scam.
