Jharkhand Assembly Elections: Ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls, former BJP leaders Dr Lois Marandi, Kunal Sarangi, and Ganesh Mahali joined Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Monday and met CM Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren.
Dr Loise Marandi was the former BJP Vice President from the state and joined Hemant Soren’s party after she was denied a ticket from her home constituency, Dumka, and was asked to contest the election from Bahrai.
“I gave 24 years to Dumka so how can I contest the election from Barhait? I know nothing about that place but I know everything about Dumka…so I refused to contest election from Barhait. Party did not listen and fielded someone else from Dumka…I need a platform to serve the people…I spoke to CM Hemant Soren and he welcomed…,” ANI quoted Dr Lois Marandi as saying.
Expressing her disappointment with the saffron party after being denied Dumka constituency, Dr Lois Marandi said, “I gave so much time to the party (BJP), day and night I kept working for the people and obeyed every instruction of the party with at most sincerity but when the elections came, party told me to contest from Barhait.”
