The Jharkhand unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to protest from January 5-7, demanding early urban local body elections. BJP state president Babulal Marandi alleges the Hemant Soren government is deliberately delaying polls, hindering the resolution of civic issues and leading to 'officer raj'. The party advocates for party-based elections using EVMs in all 49 urban local bodies. Separately, Aditya Sahu criticized the Congress's opposition to the 'G RAM G' scheme.
