Geeta Koda, wife of former Chief Minister Madhu Koda and Congress MP from Chaibasa has made a significant political move by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Her shift from Congress to BJP, along with her husband, marks a substantial blow to the Congress party in Jharkhand.
Former Jharkhand CM Madhu Koda and MP Geeta Koda were officially welcomed into the BJP by state president Babulal Marandi. This development is being hailed as a major achievement for the BJP, significantly weakening the Congress and its alliance in the region, particularly in the Kolhan area where Geeta Koda holds considerable influence.

Geeta Koda’s decision to switch parties did not come abruptly. For months, she had been expressing dissatisfaction with her position within Congress. Despite several hints at her possible departure from the party, the Congress leadership at both state and national levels seemingly overlooked her concerns. This discontent primarily stemmed from the Congress party’s recent political alignments in Jharkhand, which Geeta Koda, the wife of a former CM, reportedly found unsatisfactory.
Geeta Koda’s defection to the BJP carries significant implications for the political landscape of Jharkhand. Not only does it weaken the Congress party, but it also has the potential to bolster the BJP’s stronghold in the region. The move may prompt a reshuffling of alliances and power dynamics within the state’s political arena.
Babulal Marandi, the state president of BJP, welcomed Geeta Koda’s decision to join the party, highlighting it as a testament to the trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and the BJP’s vision for national development. Geeta Koda’s move underscores a broader trend of individuals gravitating towards the BJP due to confidence in its governance and developmental agenda.
While Congress leaders Ghulam Ahmed Mir and Rajesh Thakur were busy briefing KC Venugopal about their plans for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Jharkhand, BJP’s newest recruit, Congress MP Geeta Koda, was making her strategic moves. Seems like while one party was discussing preparation, the other was executing a defection operation.
