contest the forthcoming assembly polls in Delhi and
Chattisgarh with the aim of expanding the party at the
national level.
JMM leader Sibu Soren told reporters the party was yet to
decide the number of seats it would contest and whether it
would forge alliance with any like-minded parties.
"Our purpose is to expand party base in the states where
Tribals form a sizeable section of the population" Soren said,
pointing out that in several states tribal populace were
subjected to exploitation on all fronts including social,
political and economic.
The party would discuss its electoral strategy at the
three-day convention of JMM`s central committee which began
here last night, Soren said.
