Senior AJSU party leader and minister Chandraprakash Choudhary has launched poll campaign in Giridih by holding meetings with MLAs of different assembly constituencies falling under the Giridih LS seat. AJSU party is yet to announce the name of its candidate.

The BJP has entered into an alliance with All Jharkhand Student’s Union (AJSU) party and parted away with its stronghold Giridih seat.

Choudhary who reached Dhanbad on Monday had a hectic schedule as travelled a long way from Baghmara (Dhanbad) to Pirtand block in Giridih and back to Tundi assembly segment meeting people and focusing on foes of sitting MP Ravindar Pandey . During the visit those who had some differences with sitting MP were contacted on phone as well as visiting some of them .

BJP Baghmara MLA Dhullu Mahto accompanied him all along .Both Dhullu and Choudhary had reached Khamrabad village under Kharpoka panchayat of this Maoists infested assembly segment in Giridih block and spent four hours there at house of one of the relatives of Baghmara legislator.

Here the two were greeted by Giridih MLA Nirbhay Sahabadi . The three had a closed door meeting for over a two hours . Sahabadi too has extended support to Choudhary during the Lok Sabha elections .

Pirtand , that is part of Giridih assembly segment thus plays a crucial role during elections. Giridih assembly segment has 367 polling booths altogether. Out of these 101 polling stations of this assembly segment fall in Pirtand block and have direct impact of Left wing ultras.
