Jharkhand: Ruckus In Grand Alliance Regarding Candidature In Chatra Seat, Turmoil Continues Between RJD-Congress

Lok Sabha elections are to be held on Chatra parliamentary seat on 20th May. In such a situation, BJP has made a big move by giving ticket to the local candidate from Chatra. After declaring Kalicharan Singh as its candidate, Bharatiya Janata Party has forced the parties included in India Alliance to face pressure politics. As a consequence Chatra Lok Sabha seat, which has become the hot sheet of Jharkhand, the Grand Alliance has neither announced seat sharing nor given its final seal on the name of the JMM candidate included in the Grand Alliance including RJD and Congress. Due to non-declaration of seats, there is a situation of confusion in the Grand Alliance. Due to delay in ticket distribution, Congress and RJD workers, the ally party in the grand alliance, have come face to face regarding their claims.

State Labor and Planning Minister Satyanand Bhokta has also indicated that the Congress or RJD candidate contesting here will be local. Meanwhile, Congress State Working Committee member Abha Ojha is confident about the Congress candidate. Congress leader Abha Ojha has said that Congress is certain to get Chatra seat. For this, workers of both the parties are also presenting their views in the party forum along with their respective claims.

On the other hand, many RJD workers have said that if RJD does not get the ticket from Chatra seat, there will be mass resignation. At the same time, former MP from Chatra Lok Sabha constituency and former Union Minister Nagmani is also busy in building his political career amid the delay in seat sharing. He said that Congress will get the Chatra seat. He he even mentioned that it is certain that he will contest from Chatra Lok Sabha seat as his only objective is to defeat BJP and for this he has also proposed to merge his party with Congress. He hopes that Congress will make him its candidate in any case.
