'Mahagathbandhan' couldn't dent NDA's prospects in Jharkhand: AJSU

Sudesh Mahto had arrived in Delhi along with AJSU's Chandraprakash Chaudhary, who has won from Jharkhand's Giridih Lok Sabha seat, to take part in a meeting attended by all the newly elected MPs and senior leaders to elect the leader of the NDA in Parliament's Central Hall.

New Delhi: Taking a dig at the 'Mahagathbandhan' formed in Jharkhand ahead of the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls, 2019, the All Jharkhand Students Union party (AJSU) president Sudesh Mahto said on Saturday that the grand alliance failed to make a dent in the Bharatiya Janta Party-led National Democratic Alliance's election prospects in the tribal-dominated state.

Speaking to ETV Bharat, Mahto said, "The NDA's performance was brilliant in Jharkhand, and the 'mahagathbandhan' has failed to make a dent in its prospects."

"Narendra Modi has worked hard towards the development of the country over the five years of his tenure, and the people of the country have immensely benefitted from the central government schemes, which is why the NDA has won more than 350 seats, " added the president of AJSU, a party which is a constituent of the NDA in Jharkhand.

Mahto had arrived in Delhi along with AJSU's Chandraprakash Chaudhary, who has won from Jharkhand's Giridih Lok Sabha seat, to take part in a meeting attended by all the newly elected MPs and senior leaders to elect the leader of the NDA in Parliament's Central Hall.

On the prospects of Chandraprakash Chaudhary's inclusion in the Union cabinet, Mahto said, " we can't comment on that yet, Narendra Modi will take the final call."

Narendra Modi was appointed to the office of Prime Minister of India by President Ram Nath Kovind on May 25 after being unanimously elected as the leader of the Bharatiya Janta Party-led National Democratic Alliance.
