Reportedly the assembly elections have been announced in Jharkhand. Voting will be held here in two phases on 13 and 20 November. Meanwhile, brainstorming is going on in the ruling and opposition parties on seats. All parties are trying to bring as many seats as possible in their court. Sources said that out of the total 81 seats in jharkhand, hemant Soren's party jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) wants to contest 49 seats in the Mahagathbandhan. congress wants to adjust RJD and cpi ML in the remaining 32 seats.
Perhaps sources said that congress is not ready for this. congress contested 31 seats in the 2019 assembly elections, this time congress is demanding 33 seats. Actually, one mla each from bjp and JVM had joined congress, the party is making this the basis. Lalu Yadav's party RJD contested seven seats last time. This time also it is claiming the same number of seats. cpi ML is also claiming 5 seats. Now it will be interesting to see how many seats these parties get.
Moreover on the other hand, bjp, which is hoping to return to power, is also brainstorming on seats. Sources said that in NDA, bjp can contest on 68 seats, Sudesh Mahto's party AJSU on 11 and Nitish Kumar's party JDU on 2 seats. It is believed that JDU can get the green signal on Tamar and jamshedpur East seats. In the 2019 assembly elections, things did not work out between bjp and AJSU. At that time, AJSU announced to contest elections by separating from NDA. AJSU had then fielded candidates on 52 seats. Sources said that in jharkhand, bjp is ready to give one seat from its quota to Chirag Paswan's party LJP (Ram Vilas), but if sources are to be believed, Chirag is not ready for this. Chirag can field his candidates on all the seats in jharkhand to keep his cadre satisfied.
