Ranchi (Jharkhand): Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) general secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya said on Saturday that both the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan are facing internal “contradictions”. He also mentioned that the party will reassess its alliance in the state.
“…There are contradictions within the NDA as well as within the Mahagathbandhan. There is infighting in many seats…We will also review the alliance in the state. Because every time there is betrayal. They have betrayed the workers of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha…We will win the elections and ensure that the next government in Bihar will not be formed without the consent of the JMM…,” Bhattacharya told reporters on Saturday.
On Saturday, JMM announced that it will contest the Bihar elections independently, without joining the Mahagathbandhan.
The announcement came after the Mahagathbandhan, which includes RJD and Congress, failed to seal a pact for the first phase of the Bihar polls, with the nomination process ending on Friday. The constituents of Mahagathbandhan are engaged in a “friendly fight” on some seats.
The decision came after the Mahagathbandhan, comprising the RJD and Congress, failed to agree on a pact for the first phase of the Bihar elections, with nominations closing on Friday. As a result, some parties within the alliance are now in a “friendly contest” over certain seats.
The JMM leader announced that the party will contest six seats on its own.
“Dhamdaha, Chakai, Katoria, Manihari, Jamui and Pirpainti – we will contest these. The situation everywhere is different. Why is Congress contesting against RJD? Why is CPI contesting against VIP? Election strategies change,” he said.
Polling for the Bihar elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14. Electioneering has picked up pace, especially in seats going to the polls in the first phase of the Bihar election.
