We were not upset about any matters of them but not to let us filled candidates in the ensuing General Election 2024 has tarnish the hard earn image of the party in the state and this decision of high command has discourage all the State & District executive Members of the party. We have no option but to disassociate ourselves from the JD(U). added Riba Pangia Dolo
