Jharkhand assembly polls: CM Hemant Soren's 'proposer' Mandal Murmu joins BJP

Mandal Murmu, who signed Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's nomination, joined the BJP, pledging to address demographic changes in Santhal Pargana. This move, seen as receiving blessings from historical leaders Sidhu-Kanhu and Phulo Jhano, reflects concerns over tribal culture erosion and Bangladeshi infiltration. Jharkhand Assembly elections are scheduled for November 13 and 20.
