At present, a very big and shocking news is coming out from Ranchi (Ranchi Political News), the biggest center of politics of Jharkhand, regarding the Rajya Sabha elections. The board for Jharkhand Rajya Sabha elections has been laid and with this the political temperature of the state has reached its peak. This time the contest has come to a very interesting and triangular turn. On one hand, Baidyanath Ram’s position seems to be completely safe and secure amid the manipulations of the ruling coalition and the opposition camp, while on the other hand, a close contest has started between independent candidate Parimal Nathwani and joint candidate of Congress-alliance Pranav Jha for the second seat. Amidst this tough contest, speculation has also increased regarding the dangers of ‘horse trading’ (buying and selling of MLAs) in the state, due to which all the political parties are busy trying to save their respective MLAs.
Baidyanath Ram’s victory almost certain, numerical strength of ruling party made it strong
If we look at the party position and numerical strength of the present Assembly of Jharkhand, the ruling alliance’s candidate Baidyanath Ram seems to be the heaviest and safest for the first seat in the Rajya Sabha elections. JMM and Congress alliance have enough first preference votes to make their candidate win. According to strategists, there is no threat of any kind to Baidyanath Ram’s seat and he seems to be getting the ticket to the Upper House of Parliament very easily. His secure position has given a lot of relief to the ruling camp, but the real headache and the game of check-mate has started for the second seat which has put the politics of the entire state in suspense.
Trouble between Parimal Nathwani and Pranav Jha, eyes fixed on independents and dissidents
Renowned industrialist and independent candidate Parimal Nathwani, who is contesting for the second seat, has made the entire election very exciting with his entry. While Parimal Nathwani is said to be getting internal support from some factions of BJP and AJSU, he is also trying hard to bring small parties and independent MLAs into his fold. On the other hand, the strong soldier of the alliance and senior Congress leader Pranab Jha is also standing firmly in the field. Pranab Jha’s victory depends on whether all the MLAs of the alliance remain completely united or not. In this game of statistics, there is a close contest between the two giants and even a small cross-voting can turn the whole game upside down.
Dark shadow of horse trading looms, murmur of resort politics intensifies
The history of Jharkhand’s Rajya Sabha elections has always been full of ups and downs and controversies. This time too, due to the presence of an influential independent candidate like Parimal Nathwani in the fray, apprehensions of ‘horse trading’ have arisen. There is strong discussion in the political circles that big games are being played behind the scenes to woo the MLAs. To save their credibility, Congress and JMM are keeping a close watch on their disgruntled MLAs. If sources are to be believed, the barricade of MLAs or ‘resort politics’ can also be resorted to just before the voting, so that the opposition or independent candidates cannot make any kind of intrusion into their clan.
Know what the mathematics of the Assembly says and who has the upper hand
If the current numerical strength and political equations are analyzed closely, then Pranab Jha is being claimed to have the remaining additional votes of the alliance and the support of the left parties. But Parimal Nathwani’s track record and his managerial skills cannot be underestimated. He has been an expert in changing the equations of Jharkhand politics earlier also. If the additional votes of AJSU and BJP are completely transferred in favor of Parimal Nathwani and some independent MLAs join him, then Pranab Jha’s problems may increase significantly. At present, both the camps are claiming 100% victory for their respective parties, due to which this election will remain full of suspense and thrill till the results come.
