Good atmosphere in Kolhan, BJP will win 10 to 12 seats: Himanta Biswa Sarma ahead of Jharkhand polls

Himanta Biswa Sarma said, "There is a very good atmosphere in Kolhan, there are 14 seats, BJP will win 10 to 12 seats."

All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) party president and former deputy Chief Minister of Jharkhand Sudesh Mahato filed his nomination from the Silli assembly constituency on Friday.

Assam CM Sarma said, "I wish all the NDA parties the best. I am confident that Sudesh Mahato will win a record victory from Silli. I thank everyone. Even after the rains thousands of people joined Sudesh Mahato to fill the nomination papers."

Sarma alleged that if Congress contests 100 seats in any state then out of that 20 seats are sold.

Meanwhile, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) released its fifth list of candidates on Friday ahead of the Jharkhand election, JMM said in a press release.

Earlier former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren filed his nomination as Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Saraikella and said that the Congress and its alliance have no existence in Jharkhand and that they don't stand anywhere in the elections.

"...Not only in Jharkhand, there is a BJP wave across the country. Nobody will be able to stop this wave. Alliance with Congress has no existence in Jharkhand and they stand nowhere in these elections," said Champai Soren.

On October 19, BJP announced its first list of 66 candidates for Jharkhand assembly elections as the ruling JMM-led alliance finalised the contours of their seat-sharing agreement.
