While it's good to see tribal representation, having 6 family members in key positions doesn't look good for democracy. JMM should lead by example if they want to be seen as different from other dynasty-run parties. Development should matter more than surnames!

As someone from Jharkhand, I appreciate JMM's focus on tribal representation. 31 ST members is commendable. But I hope this committee actually works for tribal welfare and not just political gains. Our state needs real development, not just token representation 🙏

Political parties are like family businesses in India. Congress, SP, NCP, now JMM - all the same. When will we move beyond this 'parivarvaad'? Young educated leaders without political surnames deserve a chance too. #NewIndia

Good to see women like Kalpana Soren and Savita Mahato in important roles. But only 5-6 women in 63 members? We need more gender balance in politics. Jharkhand has many capable women leaders who can contribute beyond just being relatives of politicians.

The committee seems well-balanced with tribal leaders and experienced politicians. Hope they focus on Jharkhand's development - better roads, schools and jobs. We've seen enough politics, now need results! JMM has opportunity to prove they're different.
