The only Congress Member in Jharkhand On Monday, in the company of state unit chief Babulal Marandi, Geeta Koda became a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The wife of former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, Geeta Koda, was allegedly dissatisfied with the alliances the Congress party had formed in the state. Geeta Koda gave her resignation from Congress as a result of the grand old party’s use of appeasement politics.
“The Congress has destroyed the nation. Appeasement politics is all that the Congress engages in. Although they pretend they want to include everyone, the truth is that they only have family and don’t care about anyone else. Staying in a party that cares the least about people is pointless. I have chosen to work for the BJP in the future to help people. In whatever way the party needed me to, I would pitch in. Will aid in understanding Prime Minister Modi’s goal of making India a “Viksit Bharat,” Geeta stated.
The Congress party, which had only won one seat in the tribal-dominated state in the previous general elections, is expected to suffer a significant blow from Geeta Koda’s move ahead of the pivotal 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In an election that the BJP juggernaut led by Narendra Modi would have otherwise swept, Geeta Koda managed to hold her own.
By a margin of more than 72,000 votes, Koda defeated BJP candidate Laxman Giluwa in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. While Giluwa received almost 41% of the total votes cast, she received over 49% of the total.
The head of the BJP in Jharkhand, Babulal Marandi, had called the opposition INDIA bloc an assembly of “corrupt people” and questioned the group’s mere existence. “INDI alliance never existed and never will. It will not form in the future. Mamata Banerjee has declared that she will not grant the Congress or the left any seats in West Bengal. Arvind Kejriwal has also made it clear what he thinks about Punjab and Haryana, stating that he will not share seats.”
