Hemant Soren's Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has abruptly withdrawn from the Bihar assembly elections after initially announcing plans to contest six seats independently. The party alleges a "political conspiracy" by its INDIA bloc allies - the RJD and Congress - and has threatened to reassess these alliances in Jharkhand, signaling deeper rifts within the opposition coalition ahead of the November elections.
