Question

JMM is the political party of which state?
A. Odisha
B. Arunachal Pradesh
C. Jharkhand
D. Bihar

Answer 1

Hint: Most of the major parties of the country are classified by the Election Commission as ‘State parties’ other than the eight National parties. These are commonly also referred to as regional parties.

Complete answer:
Yet these parties need not be regional in their outlook or ideology. Some of these parties happen to have succeeded only in some states and are all Indian parties. Some parties have a national-level political organization like the Rashtriya Janata Dal and Samajwadi Party with units in several states. Some of these parties like Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Biju Janata Dal, Mizo National Front, and Sikkim Democratic Front are conscious about their State identity. The number and strength of these parties have expanded over the last three decades. The Parliament of India in our country was made more and more diverse politically. Until 2014 no one national party was able to secure a majority on its own in the Lok Sabha. The national parties are compelled to form alliances with State parties as a result. A National-level coalition government has been formed with nearly every one of the State parties since 1996. In our country, this has contributed to the augmenting of democracy and federalism.
The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is a state political party that was founded by Binod Bihari Mahato that was established in 1972 in the Indian state of Jharkhand. In the 17th Lok Sabha, it has one seat. The president of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha is Shibu Soren. JMM is also an influential party in part of neighboring states and the state of Odisha. Bow and Arrow is its election symbol.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The party was officially created on the birthday of Birsa Munda, who was the 19th tribal warrior of Jharkhand. He fought against the British rule in present-day Jharkhand.
