There is a lot of political activity regarding the elections in Jharkhand. Amidst all this, former foreign minister Yashwant Sinha has also prepared to play a big electoral gamble. Yashwant Sinha has announced to form a new political party. The party to be formed under the leadership of Yashwant Sinha will also be named after former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This step has been taken in view of the BJP’s decision not to give a ticket to Sinha’s son Jayant Sinha for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Instead, the party chose MLA Manish Jaiswal as the candidate for the Hazaribagh seat, causing discontent among Jayant Sinha’s supporters.
