Pre-poll alliance: Sahay suggests roping in RJD in Jharkhand

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren today said the seat sharing formula with Congress is intact even as Congress leader Subodh Kant Sahay advocated to rope in another ruling alliance in the state, the RJD.
"The seat sharing understanding with the Congress stands. We will contest four and the Congress will contest ten," Soren told reporters here tonight.
Replying to a query as to whether RJD would also form the poll alliance in Jharkhand during the ensuing general polls, Soren said it was the Congress to decide over its allotted ten seats.
Suggesting that the Congress/JMM/RJD should contest the Lok Sabha elections in alliance, Sahay claimed maximum seats could be won.

The JMM and the Congress had agreed to contest four and ten seats respectively before Soren took over the reins on July 13.
The RJD also supports the Soren government, but till now the Jharkhand PCC has not yet officially announced any tie up with the RJD in Jharkhand, which has a total of 14 LS seats.
