Summary:
Jamshedpur: Former minister Dulal Bhuiyan resigned from Congress on Monday evening and joined BSP hoping to secure a ticket to contest from the Palamu seat. In the 2009 state elections, Bhuiyan, then a sitting MLA, lost to Ajsu Party’s rookie candidate Ram Chandra Sahis. Jharkhand Pradesh Congress spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said: “If the Palamu seat was allotted to Congress, he party would have thought about which candidate to nominate.”Bhuiyan, a political turncoat, unsuccessfully contested from the Jugsalai assembly seat in the 2014 polls on a Congress ticket. Bhuiyan, who was with JMM for more than two decades, switched to JVM-P after his defeat in the 2009 elections. So, I am going to file my nomination from Palamu..
