We can breathe easy in Jharkhand: JD(U)

Jharkhand unit of JD(U) today said the party would "breathe easy" after walking out of NDA as it was always in "loss" in Jharkhand politics.
"JD(U) in Jharkhand has always been in loss. Because of the tie-up at the national level, BJP had been a miser in lending seats during elections. It did not agree to share even one seat in the 2004 general elections from the state," senior most JD-U leader in Jharkhand Pramod Mishra said here.
"And the result that year was a near washout for BJP with only the then BJP leader Babulal Marandi winning from Kodarma while they lost all the 13 other seats to other parties," he said.

"Since Jharkhand's creation, we had never been taken on equal footing by BJP, while JD(U) treated it in a dignified manner in Bihar," he claimed a day after the party walked out of NDA.
