Marandi Campaigns for BJP in Ghatsila Bypoll, Alleges State Loot
A big political leader named Babulal Marandi, who leads the BJP party in Jharkhand, is visiting a place called Ghatsila.
He is telling people that the current government is taking all the state's money without doing any good work for them.
He says people don't have jobs or good schools, and there's a lot of corruption.
He wants everyone to vote for the BJP candidate, Babulal Soren, in an upcoming special election called a byelection.
This election is happening because the previous leader for that area passed away.
Marandi also said that people who deal with sand should not have so much power.
Another political figure, Champai Soren, said that a group called Jharkhandi Kumhar Ekta Manch will help the BJP candidate.
The election is to choose a new leader for Ghatsila.
BJP Jharkhand President Babulal Marandi campaigned for the party's candidate in the Ghatsila byelection.
Marandi alleged that the Hemant Soren government is 'looting' Jharkhand without development and is responsible for corruption.
The Ghatsila byelection was necessitated by the death of JMM MLA and former Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren.
BJP candidate Babulal Soren is the son of Champai Soren, while the JMM-led INDIA bloc candidate is Somesh Chandra Soren, son of the deceased MLA.
Polling for the Ghatsila byelection is scheduled for November 11.
