Marandi, who did her Masters' in Santhali and holds a PhD degree from Ranchi University, is the ruling-JMM's candidate from the prestigious Jama assembly constituency in Dumka district—the heart of Santhal Pargana in Jharkhand.
"This area hasn't seen any development in the last 15 years. Guruji (as Shibu Soren is popularly referred to) and Hemant Soren ji, while giving me the ticket for the elections, told me that Jama needs me. I have been asked to develop this constituency, as I have done in Dumka," she said in Santhali while pointing to the JMM's symbol on a dummy EVM.
The crowd responded with cheers: "Shibu Soren Zindabad, Hemant Soren Zindabad, Lois Marandi Zindabad".
