Minister Saryu Rai to Contest Against CM From Jamshedpur East

RANCHI: Denied ticket from the BJP for Jharkhand Assembly elections, minister Saryu Rai, announced on Sunday that he will contest against Chief Minister Raghubar Das from Jamshedpur East.


"Sources said the BJP won't give a ticket to Saryu Roy over his consistent "anti-party" behaviour that has apparently upset the leadership, including party president Amit Shah"


"I will fight from both Jamshedpur East and Jamshedpur West seats. I will give maximum time to Jamshedpur East and my supporters will take care of Jamshedpur West," said Rai after meeting his supporters on Sunday. He said he will fight as independent from both the seats.


Rai got angry after BJP put his ticket on hold. The last date of filing nomination is Monday for both the seats.
