For the farming community, the BJP party promised to buy paddy for Rs 3,100 per quintal. The money would be directly sent to farmers’ bank accounts in just 24 hours of procurement.

The Jharkhand Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 13 and 20, with vote counting scheduled for November 23. In the previous assembly election, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha won 30 seats, the BJP won 25 and Congress won 16 seats. (ANI)
