INDIA bloc vows to match Jharkhand BJP sops, more or less

The ruling JMM-Congress-RJD-CPI-ML alliance in Jharkhand released its election manifesto, promising 10 lakh jobs, increased reservations for SCs/STs/OBCs, and a higher MSP for paddy. This comes as a direct challenge to BJP’s ‘Sankalp’ manifesto, setting the stage for a fierce contest in the upcoming Assembly elections.
