BJP Leaders Shift Allegiances Ahead of Jharkhand Polls

Three former BJP legislators, including Lois Marandi, have joined the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) as the state's assembly elections approach. The move underscores internal discord within the BJP and signals potential shifts in regional political dynamics. The elections are scheduled for November, with 2.60 crore eligible voters.

In a significant political shift, three former BJP legislators, Lois Marandi, Kunal Sarangi, and Lakshman Tudu, have joined the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), just weeks ahead of Jharkhand's assembly elections.

This development follows the recent defection of former BJP legislator Kedar Hazra and AJSU Party leader Umakant Rajak to the JMM, highlighting growing factionalism and dissatisfaction within the BJP ranks.

With elections slated for November and 2.60 crore voters ready to cast their ballots, these moves could reshape the political landscape of Jharkhand.
