A five-member delegation led by party president Surya Singh Besra will meet the Jharkhand Governor tomorrow and hand over a memorandum in this regard.
A decision in this regard was taken at meeting today.
Talking to newsmen, Besra said JPP would not allow the mineral-rich Jharkhand to become a laboratory of political experiment any more and decided to contest all the 81 seats on its own.
Besra, a former MLA, said "JPP would contest the next election on issues such identity of Jharkhandi, recognition of Jharkhand activists who struggled and sacrificed their lives for the cause of statehood, recognition of tribal languages as state languages, and others."
The party did not win a single seat in the last assembly election.
