Eye on assembly polls, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren meets Kharge, Rahul
NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chief Rahul Gandhi met Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren here on Wednesday, as the Congress-JMM alliance gets battle-ready for the Assembly polls in the state later this year.
The meeting at Kharge’s residence comes a day after the Congress’ shock defeat in the Haryana Assembly polls and talk of hard bargain by INDIA bloc allies with the grand old party in the upcoming elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Sources said preparations for the upcoming Assembly elections were discussed at the meeting with both the Congress and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) looking to clinch a seat-sharing deal at the earliest and begin campaigning.
