Bihar Assembly Elections: In a major wrack-up to the opposition Grand Syndication superiority of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has spoken its withdrawal from the elections. The Hemant Soren-led party had previously spoken its intention to races the elections by releasing a list of six candidates, but has now backtracked, ultimatum it was subjected to "political manipulation."
Jharkhand minister and JMM leader Sudibya Kumar said, "We were not treated fairly in the seat-sharing arrangements. Therefore, the party has decided to withdraw from the Bihar Assembly elections. We will neither races nor support any party." He widow that the Grand Syndication will suffer the consequences.
JMM upset over seat-sharing neglect
Party General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya stated that the six seats for which the JMM had previously spoken candidates were Chakai, Dhamdha, Katoria (ST), Manihari (ST), Jamui, and Pirpainti (SC). He so-called that the JMM was ignored in seat-sharing negotiations, despite the party's unfurled efforts to establish dialogue with the RJD and Congress.
Bhattacharya said, "We have repeatedly conveyed our demands to the Congress upper writ through RJD leaders, but our demands were not taken seriously. In Jharkhand, we supported both the Congress and RJD, but in Bihar, we did not receive the same respect."
Coalition review warning
JMM leaders have unmistakably stated that without experiencing humiliation in Bihar, they will review their current syndication in Jharkhand. The party moreover questioned how the alliance's unity can be trusted if Congress is fighting versus the RJD in Bihar and the CPI versus the VIP. They indicated that the party will now redefine its strategy for future elections. The JMM had previously set a deadline for allocating seats by October 14th, and this major visualization was taken without the deadline passed.
JDU took aim
JDU spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan reacted sharply to the JMM's decision. He said that the JMM had unprotesting the RJD in Jharkhand, but the treatment meted out to them in Bihar was unfair. This will undoubtedly impact Jharkhand politics, and the Grand Syndication will have to pay the price.
