BJP MP Jayant Sinha's son Aashir joins Congress in Jharkhand amid Lok Sabha Elections 2024
Hindustan reported on Monday. The development came days after Aashir's father Jayant Sinha was denied a ticket to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Hazaribagh, from where he is currently an MP.
The BJP fielded MLA Manish Jaiswal from Hazaribagh against Congress’s Jai Prakash Bhai Patel. The Lok Sabha seat goes to polls on May 20.
Jharkhand started voting for its 14 Lok Sabha seats since May 13. The elections in the state will take place in four phases.
The BJP has already announced candidates for 13 seats and left Giridih for the AJSU Party. As per the seat-sharing pact of the JMM-led alliance in the state, the Congress would contest seven seats and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha five.
The RJD and CPI(ML) are contesting one seat each. In the 2019 elections, the BJP secured 11 seats, while the AJSU Party, Congress, and JMM won one seat each in the state.Milestone Alert!
