Notably, JVM chief Babulal Marandi has joined BJP on Monday after 14 years. Along with him, many officials of JVM also joined BJP.
"Along with Babulal Marandi, we had formed the Jharkhand Vikas Morcha so that the tribal, poor, Dalits and minorities could get their rights. Bharatiya Janata Party has always exploited the people of Jharkhand so we will not go with BJP and for these reasons we chose Congress. Congress is an excellent platform for us," Yadav added.
"I have joined the Congress without any condition. I do not know whether I will become a minister or not but Babulal Marandi's joining in BJP is a big fraud and he has cheated the people of Jharkhand," he further added.
