Party will hold review meet to take stock of defeat: Koda

Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Madhu Koda on Wednesday said his Jai Bharat Samanta Party would hold a review meeting before December 30 to discuss the reasons for the party’s debacle in Assembly elections of the state.

Admitting that the outcome of the Assembly election was far below expectation, Koda said, “We will hold a review meeting before December 30 to discuss the Assembly poll debacle.” Except his wife and sitting MLA Geeta Koda, all 19 candidates that he had fielded lost the election, the results of which were declared on Tuesday.

To a query about the possibility of JBSP’s lone member extending support to the ruling alliance, Koda said, “Neither have we decided anything about it nor has anyone approached us as yet.”
