Reflecting on last election
In the 2019 assembly elections, the NDA (BJP) won four seats, while the then-Mahagatbandhan, consisting of Congress, JMM, and RJD, won two seats—Jharia and Tundi. The upcoming elections in Dhanbad are scheduled for the second phase on November 20.
A call for collaboration
During the press conference, district presidents and senior office bearers from all alliance partners were also present. Purnima Niraj Singh, the Jharia MLA, urged leaders from all parties to collaborate in the elections and achieve the mission of winning all six seats in Dhanbad.
CPIML candidate Chandradeo Mahto, known as Babloo Mahto and the son of veteran leader and former Marxists Coordination Committee MLA Anand Mahto, emphasized the need for the return of the INDI Alliance government to ensure a prosperous Jharkhand. He stated that this goal could only be achieved through unity and collaboration.
Other candidates, including Arup Chatterjee from CPIML, Mathura Prasad Mahto from JMM, and Ajay Dubey from Congress, also highlighted the importance of working together for their common cause.
