A government is going to be formed in Jharkhand under the leadership of the BJP and NDA. There is no doubt about this. The public has made up its mind to bring about a change in Jharkhand and after the change, the NDA government will be formed, that is, a joint government of the AJSU Party, Janata Dal and BJP will be formed in Jharkhand.”
