    By IANS,

    Ranchi : Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Shibu Soren Sunday said seat-sharing with the Congress was yet to be finalised for the Lok Sabha elections next year.

    “Leaders of Congress and JMM will sit and decide over the seat-sharing issue,” Shibu Soren told reporters here.

    Over the Congress claim to 10 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats from Jharkhand, he said, “It is not decided who will fight on how many seats”.

    Hemant Soren, son of former chief minister Shibu Soren, became chief minister of the state in July this year with support of the Congress and other parties.

    Congress spokesperson Shailesh Sinha said, “seat-sharing was finalised during the formation of government in July. As per understanding, Congress will fight for 10 seats from Jharkhand”.
