NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India ( CPI ) on Tuesday released the list of candidates for the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections as the party was unsatisfied with the seats offered to it by the INDIA bloc allies, which included CM Hemant Soren's JMM and the Congress party.
After breaking ranks with the INDIA bloc in Jharkhand, the CPI attacked the Hemant government, saying the dispensation has "disappointed the youth here for five years".
"The state government has disappointed the youth here for 5 years, we will contest elections outside the alliance," CPI state secretary Mahendra Pathak said.
After releasing the list, Pathak shared that the party would field candidates for a total of 15 seats in the 81-member Jharkhand assembly.
"We have been a part of the INDIA alliance . We had contacted the big leaders of both JMM and Congress regarding seat sharing and were also given assurances but we were disappointed. That is why we have decided to field our candidates on 15 Assembly seats in Jharkhand. Today we are announcing our candidates for some seats," Mahendra Pathak told news agency ANI.
According to the list, CPI has fielded Kanhai Chandramal Pahadiya from the Nala Assembly, Chhaya from Sarath Assembly, Mahadev Ram from Barkatha Assembly, Ruchir Tiwari from Daltonganj, Santosh Kumar Rajak from Kanke, Suresh Kumar Bhuiya from Simaria, Doman Bhuiya from Chatra, Mahendra Oraon will contest from Bishanpur, Ghanshyam Pathak is fighting from Bhawanathpur.
He further said that candidates from the remaining seats -- Ranchi, Mandu, Barkagaon Hazaribagh, and Poreyahat will be announced after two days.
The Jharkhand Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 13 and November 20 and votes will be counted on November 23.
