The political heat is increasing in the Jharkhand assembly elections. BJP is making every possible effort to return to power. In such a situation, their eyes are on the tribal community, the largest vote bank of the state, through which they are trying to win the hearts of the tribal community. BJP has tribal faces like Arjun Munda and Babulal Marandi, but their influence is no longer the same. BJP is looking for a big tribal face to contest against CM Hemant Soren, and there is speculation that its strategy is to field former Chief Minister Champai Soren again.
Will it be easy for BJP to win the tribal community's vote bank?
JMM veteran leader and former CM Champai Soren has staged a coup. Champai, who is camping in Delhi with his close MLAs, has expressed his displeasure through a social media post and said that all options are open for him. It is believed that Champai Soren and some of his close MLAs may join the BJP. Will Champai Soren's arrival make it easier for the BJP to win the tribal community's vote bank and will it prove to be a big setback for JMM?
Champai Soren is considered a big leader of the tribal community. He has been a seven-time MLA and Chief Minister of Jharkhand. Champai is from Kolhan district of Jharkhand and there are 14 assembly seats and 2 Lok Sabha seats here. If Champai joins BJP, the stature of BJP will increase not only in Saraikela but in the entire Kolhan region. BJP's path to power may become easier!
Jharkhand has the highest population of tribals
Jharkhand has the highest tribal population of 26 percent, which has the power to make and break the political equations of political parties. Out of the total 81 seats in the state assembly, 28 are reserved for the tribal community. These seats are in districts like Khunti, Singhbhum, Lohardaga, Dumka and Sahibganj. These seats are considered very important for gaining power in the state.
Tribal vote bank is the most important factor
The tribal vote bank is the most important in Jharkhand and Champai Soren is considered a big tribal leader. BJP has Arjun Munda and Babulal Marandi, Champai Soren's arrival will increase BJP's trust in the tribal community. Out of the 28 assembly seats reserved for the tribal community, BJP currently has only two seats in the South Chotanagpur region.
Equation of last assembly election
In the last assembly elections, BJP had to face defeat in all the tribal seats of Santhal and Kolhan region. In the 2014 assembly elections, out of the 28 seats reserved for scheduled tribes, BJP and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha won 13 seats each. While other candidates won on two seats. In this way, BJP has planned to win the hearts of the tribal community through Champai Soren. Now it remains to be seen how the script for Champa's entry into BJP is written.
