The lone Congress MP from Jharkhand, Geeta Koda, joined the BJP ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, causing a setback for the Congress. Geeta Koda, wife of former Chief Minister Madhu Koda, holds considerable clout in the Singhbhum region. This move is likely to impact both the national elections and the upcoming assembly elections. The BJP-led NDA aims to achieve a clean sweep in Jharkhand.
