RANCHI: BJP on Saturday announced its candidates for 10 of the 13 Lok Sabha constituencies it is contesting in Jharkhand. The overall collection of LS seats in the state is 14, one in every of which has been allocated to BJP's best friend Ajsu-P.
The most important facet of BJP's checklist used to be shedding of Karia Munda, an eight-time MP from Khunti. The 82-year-old chief has been changed by much more youthful partyman and previous chief minister Arjun Munda. Many describe this as an end of electoral politics for Karia, who first received Khunti in 1977.
A senior BJP chief stated, "Age is the only reason why our party veteran was dropped. We now want him to guide us." He added, "Our party is trying to drop all those who are beyond 75 years." BJP's sitting MP from Ranchi Ram Tahal Choudhary is greater than 75 years old.
Karia informed TOI, "What is there to feel good or bad about it? It's a party decision and I welcome it. I would have fought if I was asked to. I am still a party worker at heart and I will help whoever contests in my place to win."
BJP, alternatively, did not specify when it's going to claim the names of nominees for the remaining 3 seats - Ranchi, Chatra and Koderma. Ajsu-P stated it could name its canididate for Giridih, the lone seat it has got, on March 25. In stark distinction, the mahagathbandhan of Congress, JMM, JVM-P and RJD are still suffering to strike a suitable seat-sharing deal.
