In Jharkhand’s Tamar Assembly constituency, upcoming elections see a fierce contest between the current MLA and a murder accused. The area, previously known for Naxal activities, has more female voters than male. India’s political alliances, the India Alliance and the NDA, compete for votes with various schemes. The current MLA, Vikas Munda, opposes ex-Minister Gopal Krishnapatar, accused of killing Vikas’s father, ex-MLA Ramesh Munda.
