JMM-Congress spar over Jharkhand RS seats

Disagreements have surfaced between the JMM and Congress over Jharkhand's Rajya Sabha elections. The Congress nominated Pranav Jha without consulting Chief Minister Hemant Soren. The JMM plans to field candidates for both seats, rejecting the Congress nominee. The JMM has announced Baijnath Ram as one candidate. The alliance holds enough votes to secure both seats.
