Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Congress and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) had an alliance in the forthcoming assembly elections. Hemant Soren of JMM, is the face of chief ministerial candidate of the coalition.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opposition is upbeat after the results of Maharashtra and Haryana assembly polls, hoping to perform better than the 2014 elections. JMM and Congress bagged 19 and six seats respectively in the last assembly polls, while RJD failed to open its account. This time arithmetic is likely to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the tall claims by the chief minister of the state, fierce battle is ahead in the upcoming five-phase assembly polls in Jharkhand. Ruling and opposition both factions are warming up to show their strength<\/span><\/p>\n
