You are actively taking part in the poll campaigns. Although you were an NDA candidate earlier, you couldn’t bag even the BJP votes. As an NDA ally, what are the expectations of the Janadhipathya Rashtriya Party (JRP), founded by you, this election?

The NDA front will get more votes. It might even lead to victory. The JRP itself took a stance that they do not want candidacy, but will cooperate with the campaigns. Until now, no consideration was given as an NDA ally to my party, but now support has been guaranteed, C K Janu said.

“When I was a candidate during the last elections, I did not get all the NDA votes. Let's see it in a broader way. There is a historical backdrop of social and political marginalisation of the tribals. It exists in every system. Although many claims are made, the discrimination still exists inside. It will be evident at some points. A change in that direction has not yet come. However, there is no need to be totally negative under the current circumstances, hopes are still there," Janu added.
