Jharkhand Assembly elections will be held in five phases between November 30 and December 20, and the counting of votes will take place on December 23. Presently, the BJP is in power in the state, which has a large tribal population. An alliance of opposition parties, mainly the Congress and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, is making a determined bid to oust the BJP government.
Raghubar Das of the BJP is the first state chief minister to have completed the full term of five years in the state. The saffron party has asserted that it has provided a stable, clean and development-oriented government in Jharkhand, with the opposition claiming that the state’s progress has stalled under its rule. After a more than hopeful show in Maharashtra in the assembly elections, the Congress is determined about its chances in Jharkhand.
