The political record of 24 years is about to be broken in Jharkhand. Because for the first time in Jharkhand a party is returning to power with strength. If we talk about the trends so far, Hemant Soren alliance seems to be getting complete majority. Jharkhand is leading in 50 out of 81 seats. The margin of lead on 10 seats is more than 10 thousand votes. Then the question arises that despite massive campaigning in Jharkhand, BJP could not come to power. Then let us know what can happen.
no face of the Chief Minister
Bharatiya Janata Party did not have any strong face at the local level. The party had two leaders from the CM face (Babu Lal Marandi and Champai Soren). Interestingly, both of them defected
The Champai had joined BJP before the assembly elections.
Women are a separate vote bank
After assuming the chair in July 2024, Hemant Soren focused on the women vote bank. Soren implemented Maiya Samman Yojana for women. Under this scheme, Rs 1000-1000 were deposited every month in the bank account of every woman.
outrage among tribals
Hemant seems to be winning unilaterally in the tribal dominated areas of Jharkhand. Hemant was raising the issue of tribal identity throughout the elections. His party said that despite having absolute majority, Hemant was not allowed to complete his five-year term. Hemant’s party was also cornering BJP on issues like Khatiani and reservation. Actually, a resolution has been passed by the Assembly on these issues, but the Governor has not approved it. At present there is only BJP government at the centre.
Kudmi voters scattered
In Jharkhand, Kudmi voters were united with AJSU, but this time with the arrival of Jairam Mahato, this vote bank got separated from them. This time also BJP had an agreement with Sudesh Mahato, but Sudesh Mahato’s party seems to be getting lead in only 2-3 seats. Especially in Kolhan and Koyalanchal areas. Due to the scattering of Kudmi voters, Hemant’s core voter has become stronger.
Big leaders failed
Bokaro’s strongman Biranchi Narayan seems to be lagging behind. Narayan Das of Deoghar is also in a similar situation. Amit Mandal of Godda is also far behind. Madhu Koda’s wife from Jagannathpur is also seen behind. That is, overall the seats on which BJP had deployed big leaders. The party is proving to be a failure there. Big leaders not winning seats is also a setback for BJP.
