BJM will contest on 30 seats, no plan to merge with BJP, says MLA

Jamshedpur, Jan 7: Jamshedpur East MLA Saryu Roy Saturday said he will contest the Jharkhand Assembly elections from Jamshedpur East constituency and nowhere else.

“I still follow the ideology of RSS, Jan Sangh and the BJP. Their ideology alone can strengthen the country,” said Roy.

The MLA said he did not want to separate ways with the BJP but did so due to circumstances created by his opponents. “Had the BJP leadership asked me not to contest the elections beforehand, I would have readily accepted it.
