Jamtara (Jharkhand) [India], October 20 (ANI): As the polling date draws near for Jharkhand assembly elections, BJP leader Sita Soren on Sunday affirmed that the party will form the government in the state and "bring change."
Speaking to ANI, Sita Soren said, "The party has shown trust in me and has given me the ticket from the Jamtara seat. I will work hard and win the seat with the full majority. The people of Jharkhand will choose the BJP government."
"The present government has only increased corruption and crime in the state. Our government will come and will bring change to the state," she said.
"First they used the youth and now they are trying to woo the women through maiya samman yojana. After December this scheme will stop and money will be deposited only for three months in the account of women. In all the major cities of the state, crime is taking place in broad daylight. BJP will form the government in the state," she added.


The former JMM MLA is the wife of Hemant Soren's late elder brother, Durga Soren, who died in 2009.
Sita Soren, who joined the BJP on March 19, lost in the Lok Sabha polls from Dumka to JMM's Nalin Soren. She was the former general secretary of the JMM.

BJP announced its first list of 66 candidates for Jharkhand elections on Saturday as the ruling JMM-led alliance finalised the contours of their seat-sharing agreement. The BJP list included names of former Jharkhand Chief Ministers Champai Soren and Babulal Marandi.
While Babulal Marandi will contest the elections from Dhanwar, Lobin Hembrom is in the fray from Borio Sita Soren from Jamtara, Geeta Balmuchu from Chaibasa and Geeta Koda from Jaganathpur. Meera Munda, wife of Union Minister Arjun Munda, has been fielded from Potka.
Bharatiya Janata Party will contest the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections in alliance with All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), Janata Dal (United) and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP). BJP will contest 68 seats, AJSU 10 seats, JD-U two seats and LJP one seat.
Elections are being held on 81 seats of the Jharkhand assembly in two phases on November 13 and November 20. (ANI)
