While there is political turmoil in Maharashtra before the results, there is an atmosphere of silence in Jharkhand. Voting pattern is said to be the main reason for this. It is being said that the manner in which voting was conducted in Jharkhand has made it difficult for the leaders to make an assessment, hence the leaders of both the alliances are now waiting for the strong room to open.
Jharkhand, which has 81 assembly seats, requires 41 MLAs to form the government. In 2019, Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha alliance formed the government here.
Voting increased but…
This time an increase in voting percentage has been seen in Jharkhand. There has been an increase of about 4 percent in total voting. Usually, when the voting percentage increases, it is considered against the government, but this time there are 68 seats in Jharkhand where women have cast more votes than men.
The voting percentage of women has left experts perplexed. It is being said that this time women have emerged as the new vote bank. JMM was busy in cultivating these people even before the elections through Maiya Samman Yojana.
JMM claims that women have played a big role in this election, that is why Hemant Soren is coming to the government again. Women’s issues were much discussed in this election in Jharkhand.
Where JMM Maiya was treating women with respect. At the same time, BJP was trying to bring them into its fold through promises like Gogo Didi and land registry at one rupee.
Tension due to less voting on 11 seats
On one hand, an increase in the total voting percentage has been recorded. On the other hand, there are 11 assemblies of Jharkhand where voting has decreased. These include seats like Barkatha, Panki and Chhatarpur.
Due to low voting percentage on these seats, the question is arising that which way will the mathematics of victory turn out? BJP and its allies had won most of the seats where less voting took place last time.
In such a situation, everyone is keeping an eye on what happens to the scenario here.
Congress weak in JMM survey
Apart from the exit poll, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has also released a survey. In this survey, JMM has claimed victory on 59 out of 81 assembly seats. In the party’s survey, Congress has been described as very weak. According to the survey, the seats of big Congress leaders are stuck. This survey has been released by General Secretary Supriyo Bhattacharya.
It has been said in the survey that there are a total of 14 such seats where Congress is stuck. Congress is contesting elections on 28 seats under the official agreement.
In this survey, Congress has been declared weak on seats like Rameshwar Oraon’s Lohardaga, Ajoy Kumar’s Jamshedpur East, Deepika Pandey’s Mahagama, Badal Patralekh’s Jarmundi. However, JMM general secretary Vinod Pandey says that this idea is of Supriyo Bhattacharya. Nothing to do with party.
Jairam Factor in Koyalanchal
Kudmi leader Jairam Thakur was also contesting in Jharkhand elections. It is being said that many of Jairam’s candidates have been successful in creating a triangular contest in Kolhan and Koyalanchal. Jairam himself is contesting elections from Dumri and Bermo.
Jairam’s candidates are also considered strong in seats like Bagodar and Baghmara. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes are on his vote shifting. It is being said that if Jairam harms NDA, then BJP can stay away from power.
At the same time, if Indian candidates lose because of Jairam, then Hemant’s comeback will be difficult. Sudesh Mahato of NDA is also in tension because of Jairam.
