Ranchi, March 30 (Hindustan Reporter) There may be a direct contest between BJP candidate Sanjay Seth and Congress candidate Ram Tahal Chaudhary on Ranchi Lok Sabha seat. Recently Ram Tahal Chaudhary has joined Congress. There are speculations that Congress may field him this time. If this happens, then Ram Tahal Choudhary, who was once the BJP MP from Ranchi seat, will again stand in front of BJP in the election field by becoming the opposition candidate of Congress.
Ramtahal Choudhary, who comes from among the OBC voters, is considered to have a strong hold on the Kurmi community. However, in Ranchi seat, apart from Kurmi, both the parties have special eyes on other caste voters also. The capital especially has the highest number of Christian-Muslim voters, but here the votes of Hindu communities are also considered decisive. This time the equation on Ranchi seat may change in the Lok Sabha elections and it will be interesting to see what the public decides in the elections.
Talking about the last 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP candidate Sanjay Seth had won the Ranchi Loss seat by securing 7 lakh 6 thousand 828 votes. Subodhkant Sahay of Congress, who stood second, had received 4 lakh 23 thousand 802 votes. This time also there is a strong discussion about Subodh Kant Sahay becoming the candidate, but due to the entry of Ram Tahal Choudhary, there is still doubt in the Congress whether Subodh Kant Sahay will get the ticket or Ram Tahal Choudhary.
If we look at the figures of the year 2014, there was a triangular contest in Ranchi. In particular, BJP's Ram Tahal Choudhary got maximum 448729 votes, Congress' Subodh Kant Sahay got 249426 votes and AJSU chief Sudesh Mahato got 142560 votes.
However, it is also well known how in the internal survey of BJP in 2019, Ram Tahal Choudhary proved to be weak in the public test and his ticket was cut from BJP. Then an angry Chaudhary contested the elections as an independent candidate on the football symbol. During that time Ram Tahal Chaudhary had received 29 thousand 500 votes.
