Jharkhand Assembly Election: 10 political parties formed a third front in Jharkhand on Wednesday to contest the upcoming state assembly election. The new political alliance, named Jharkhand Navnirman Mahasabha Third Alliance (JANMAT), has been formed to contest against the NDA and INDIA bloc. This coalition is led by Jharkhand People's Party (JPP) president Surya Singh Besra along with JMM (Ulgulan) chief Krishna Mardi.
Surya Singh Besra stated that a meeting to establish the coordination committee for the JANMAT alliance will be held on August 8 in Jamshedpur to contest the Jharkhand Assembly Election 2024 against NDA and INDIA bloc parties.
The third front plans to field candidates in all 81 assembly seats in the state. Surya Singh Besra highlighted that it has been 24 years since the formation of Jharkhand, with the BJP and JMM ruling for 17 years. He accused both parties of failing to fulfil their electoral promises and cheating the people of Jharkhand.

Key priorities include eradicating corruption, providing employment to the youth and ensuring reservation for women, he said.
