In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Jharkhand, similar to other parts of the Hindi heartland, was swept by the Narendra Modi wave. The BJP won 12 seats in the state, whereas, the remaining 2 were retained by the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, an ally of the Congress.

In the run-up to the forthcoming general elections, the Congress has kept its alliance intact with the JMM. The seat-sharing pact is yet to be finalised by the two parties. The BJP, meanwhile, has tied up with the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU), giving the latter 1 constituency to contest, whereas, the party itself would be fielding candidates in 13 seats.
