While speculations are abuzz that Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) could leave the Opposition bloc and become Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) ally, the Congress on Wednesday maintained the INDIA bloc is intact in Jharkhand. Jharkhand Chief Minister and JMM leader Hemant Soren’s sudden visit to Delhi triggered the speculations.

Dismissing the speculations, Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal asserted the INDIA bloc is "rock-solid" in Jharkhand. "Spoke to Jharkhand CM Shri @HemantSorenJMM ji today. Let there be no doubts - our INDIA alliance in Jharkhand is rock-solid, cohesive, and fully committed to advancing people-centric welfare policies that reflect the aspirations of every citizen of Jharkhand," Venugopal said in a post on X.
