The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) Wednesday ruled out any pre-poll tie-up in the state assembly and Lok Sabha polls in 2014.

"Our party will go alone in Lok sabha and assembly polls," said Hemant Soren, former deputy chief minister and son of JMM chief Shibu Soren.

He was talking to reporters after the end of a two-day executive committee meeting of the JMM in Bokaro.

President's rule was imposed in the state Jan 18 after the JMM withdrew its support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government.

The current assembly's tenure ends in December 2014.
