Ranchi, April 5 RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav said on Sunday that his party is a major force in Jharkhand, which cannot be ignored.
Yadav was in Ranchi to address party workers and discuss strategies to strengthen the organization in the state.
"This is my first visit to Jharkhand after becoming the RJD national working president. I have been given a significant responsibility to grow, expand, and strengthen the party," he said, addressing the party workers here.
Yadav said the party contested seven seats in the previous assembly elections in Jharkhand, two of which turned out to be competitive contests.
"Despite this, we emerged winners in four seats. Had we been allocated more seats, we would have won even more," the RJD leader said.
He said the RJD is part of the INDIA bloc in Jharkhand.
"The RJD is a major force in Jharkhand that simply cannot be ignored," he told the workers.
The party and its organizational structure would be further strengthened in the state.
"I have instructed the state president to form a team and tour every district and organize rallies at the divisional level, to strengthen the party," Yadav said.
He added that his objective is to strengthen the party at the national level.
"We are contesting the Kerala assembly elections in alliance with the Left Democratic Front (LDF), and wherever else we have strength, we will contest the elections," Yadav, leader of the opposition in the Bihar assembly, said.
He slammed the ruling alliance in Bihar, alleging that they won the election by deploying state machinery and money power.
"... we got 1.90 crore votes, 20 lakh more than the previous election," he added.
