He has some questions. He has not filed his nomination yet. The party is contacting him. They will be convinced soon. On the opposition of Ho Samaj in the name of Joba Manjhi in Singhbhum and the entry of party MLA Chamra Linda from Lohardaga into the electoral fray, he said: There is no opposition anywhere. There is some resentment going on during elections. This happens in all parties. Even after a particular community in Koderma declared JP Verma as its candidate, he said that all this happens during elections.
