The INDIA alliance will fight the ensuing Jharkhand assembly elections together, Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced today. The Congress and ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha will field candidates in 70 of the 81 assembly constituencies, he said.

Speaking to the media, CM Soren said: “We can’t go into the details of the seat-sharing right now. Our alliance partner is not here right now. When they are here, we will finalise the number of seats and other details,” Mr Soren told reporters, adding seat-sharing talks are on with other alliance partners – RJD and Left parties – for the remaining 11 seats. Jharkhand will vote in two phases on November 13 and 20. Votes will be counted on November 23.
