India Alliance seat sharing controversy: There is no consensus on seat sharing among the parties of the ruling India Alliance in Jharkhand. Then the concern about India alliance is increasing. On one hand, during talks with Mahavikas Aghadi in Maharashtra, Akhilesh Yadav has announced the names of four candidates. On the other hand, the cold response from Lalu Yadav's party RJD in Jharkhand is creating difficulty in seat sharing. Regarding seat sharing in Jharkhand, Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Saturday said that India Bloc will contest the next assembly elections together and Congress and AMM will field their candidates on 70 out of 81 seats. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has reached Ranchi regarding seat sharing.
Congress-JMM will contest elections on 70 seats
Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced the alliance at his official residence in Ranchi on Saturday. After the meeting of India Alliance, Soren said, India Block will contest Jharkhand assembly elections together. During seat sharing talks with allies, it has been decided that Congress and JMM will field their candidates on 70 out of 81 seats. The Chief Minister has not yet revealed how many seats JMM and Congress will contest.
RJD's absence
On the issue of seat sharing, the Chief Minister further said that talks are being held with alliance partners RJD and Left parties for the remaining 11 seats. Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced the seat sharing in the presence of Congress' Jharkhand in-charge Ghulam Ahmed Mir. However, representatives of the Left Party were not present on this occasion. Soren said that after talks with RJD and CPI (L), the situation will become clear on which seats Congress and JMM will contest. Let us tell you that the assembly elections will be held in two phases on 13th and 20th November and the counting of votes will take place on 23rd November.
Manoj Jha gave clarification
On this subject, RJD MP Manoj Jha said- We have come before you for a special reason. Our entire leadership has come here on the request of Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav. We had a meeting this morning and it was decided in the meeting that the vote strength and support base is in favor of RJD. Last time we fought on 7 seats, because Lalu ji had a big heart, his aim was to remove BJP and it is the same even today. We are second on five seats. The rest of our alliance partners cannot remain second in terms of percentage of seats.
Capable of defeating BJP on 15 to 18 seats
Apart from this, it was said in the meeting of the opposition alliance that a unilateral decision was taken, our presence is strong in various districts, we will urge our alliance partners to take a thoughtful decision like this, our in-charge is here, our state president. Are here. And since yesterday our leader of opposition Tejashwi Yadav ji is also here. Despite all this, if you did not include us in the alliance process, then it is a matter of regret. In the meeting held today, we have identified 15 to 18 seats, in many districts we alone are capable of defeating BJP.

In Maharashtra, Congress is trying to coordinate with the alliance for every party meeting. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has announced the names of his candidates for four Samajwadi Party seats amid talks with the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
