"No one can survive (in politics) without a strong organisation. And I joined my old party, and now I am confident to fight from Maheshpur assembly seat, which the party has allotted me for this elections," Marandi told PTI.
Denied ticket in 2005 assembly elections, Marandi quit the JMM and had won Dumka seat as Independent and went on to become the deputy chief minister in both Shibu Soren and Madhu Koda governments.
