After election schedule was announced in Jharkhand, the JMM and the Congress, on Friday supported continuation of the pre-Lok Sabha opposition alliance in the November-December state polls.
The JMM, Congress, Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) and Rashtriya Janata Dal had fought the 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state in alliance.
The JMM and the Congress had won one seat each in the Parliamentary poll in Jharkhand.
"We will contest in alliance with the opposition parties," JMM General Secretary and spokesman Suprio Bhattacharya told PTI.
He replied in affirmative when asked whether the opposition alliance would see the same opposition parties as had been stitched before the Lok Sabha elections this year.
Asked how many seats the JMM would contest in the assembly polls, Bhattacharya said, "We will let you know soon, as the poll schedule announced just now."
