BJP banks on Raghubar Das as Jharkhand CM Raghubar Das

Ranchi: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Central leadership is banking on Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghubar Das and has denied ticket to his detractors for the state’s upcoming Assembly polls.

The BJP has made it clear that Das will be the face of the party in the elections to the state’s 81-member Assembly which will take place in five phases from November 30 to December 20.

The polls were spread over 21 days because of the Naxal problem that poses a security challenge. Counting of votes will take place on December 23. The saffron party’s ally, All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), has also not been taken into consideration. (IANS)
