HER STORY: It's woman vs woman in Singhbhum poll contest

Even as people on the roadside favour BJP, the JMM is stronger in the remote villages.

Geeta Koda is banking on the development works done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. On the other hand, Joba Manjhi is mobilising people raising the issue of former Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s arrest as an insult to the tribal community.
