There is a tough competition between nda and india Block in the first phase of elections for 43 assembly seats in jharkhand on november 13. In the 2019 elections, the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance won 25 of these seats, while bjp got only 13 seats. Independents won two seats, ncp won one and JVM won one. This time, while nda has tried its best to improve its score, india Block is also trying to add some seats while maintaining its old position.
In this phase, the reputation of former chief minister Champai Soren and six ministers of the current government of jharkhand is at stake. Champai Soren, who joined bjp just a month after being removed from the CM's chair, is contesting from his traditional seat Saraikela in Kolhan division, from where he has been elected mla six times so far. In the seven elections held from 1991 to 2019, he had to face defeat only once in the year 2000.
Champai Soren is the main face of bjp in jharkhand elections
Here Ganesh Mahali of jharkhand Mukti Morcha is giving him a direct competition. Mahali was the bjp candidate here in the last two elections. The only difference in this time's contest is that both have changed parties. Champai Soren is also one of the main faces that bjp has put forward in the jharkhand elections.
Dr. Rameshwar Oraon had a direct benefit
Dr. Rameshwar Oraon, a minister from the congress quota in the hemant government, is facing a direct competition from AJSU Party's Neeru Shanti Bhagat on the Lohardaga seat. In the last election, both bjp and AJSU had fielded their separate candidates on this seat, which directly benefited Dr. Rameshwar Oraon. This time BJP-AJSU are together. In such a situation, it does not seem easy for Dr. Rameshwar Oraon to save the seat. minister Mithilesh Thakur is contesting from Garhwa assembly seat, where this time there is a triangular contest. He is facing a tough challenge from BJP's Satyendra Nath Tiwari and Samajwadi party candidate former minister Girinath Singh. Both of them have been MLAs from this seat in the past and both have their own influence in the area.
