In a heated electoral battle in Jharkhand, the ruling JMM-Congress-RJD-CPI-ML alliance has launched its manifesto, promising a slew of welfare benefits. These include job creation, enhanced health insurance, increased reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs, and a higher minimum support price for farmers. This directly counters the BJP's 'Sankalp' pledges, setting the stage for a close contest.
