Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pratul Shahdeo declared the party's ambition to create a 'Congress-free India' while asserting their confidence in winning the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand on June 18. Shahdeo emphasized the BJP's focus on defeating the Congress's candidate, whom he labeled as an 'outsider' lacking connections to Jharkhand. Meanwhile, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has announced that it will field Baidyanath Ram, while Congress will put forward Pranav Jha for the two available seats. Initially, the JMM sought to contest both seats but later agreed to share one with Congress, demonstrating coalition spirit under Chief Minister Hemant Soren's leadership. Shahdeo also criticized the opposition INDIA bloc, particularly targeting Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee, whom he described as a leader without a party following the bloc's recent struggles. He noted the diminishing strength of the Congress and the INDIA alliance, suggesting that Banerjee's recent actions reflect a shift from her previous position within the coalition.
