Meanwhile, Jharkhand Congress in-charge Ghulam Ahmed Mir expressed confidence in the victory of the ruling JMM-Congress coalition following the first phase of voting in the state and emphasized that the voter turnout reflects the positive impact of the coalition’s women-centric programs.
Speaking to Desk over the polls, Ghulam Ahmed Mir said, “No matter what anyone claims, the first phase of voting in Jharkhand has shown that people have supported the programs given by the coalition government (JMM-Congress). In the first phase, more women voters voted than men. This simply means that the programs given by this government for women have had an impact.”
