Overview
- The party’s central committee approved running in 31 constituencies, framing the move as representation for Assam’s tribal and tea‑garden communities with roots in Jharkhand.
- Hemant Soren recently toured Assam and met leaders of two opposition parties as the JMM explores tactical tie‑ups.
- Assam Congress chief Gaurav Gogoi met Soren in Ranchi to discuss possible seat sharing, though no arrangement has been announced.
- JMM has submitted a 20‑member star campaigner list to the Election Commission, led by Hemant and Kalpana Soren, and sought vehicle passes for campaign travel.
- Parallel pushes by TMC, which is expected to contest about 51 seats, and AAP, which has named candidates for 14 seats, are increasing the likelihood of vote‑splitting ahead of the April 9 poll.
