Lois Marandi: 10 years after defeating CM Hemant Soren, ex-BJP MLA now a JMM nominee
Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Friday released its fifth list for the assembly polls, announcing former BJP legislator Lois Marandi as its nominee from the Jama seat. The list contained only the name of Marandi who had defeated Chief Minister Hemant Soren in 2014 from Dumka. She defected from the BJP after not getting ticket and joined the JMM on October 21 along with two other former legislators — Kunal Sarangi and Lakshman Tudu.
Lois Marandi, a former minister, said it was «painful» to part ways with BJP after serving it for 24 years.
«The BJP in 2014 scripted a historic win in Dumka, which was considered a JMM bastion. But it honoured the women who are brought to the party from outside and not those who dedicated their entire life for them,» she had said.
In 2014, she defeated Hemant Soren by a margin of 5,262 votes in Dumka but lost to him in 2019 by around 13,000 votes. She lost the 2020 by-election as well to JMM's Basant Soren as the CM vacated the seat to retain Barhait.
The JMM announced a total of 43 candidates for the elections to the 81-seat assembly.
