NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pratul Shah Deo expressed confidence in the BJP and its allies winning the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections.
This follows the announcement of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) seat-sharing agreement.
As per the agreement, BJP will contest 68 seats, All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) will contest 10 seats, Janata Dal (United) will contest two seats, and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) will contest one seat in Chatra. The Jharkhand assembly has a total of 81 constituencies.
Deo stated, "After the seat sharing has been finalized, I can say that NDA is at its strongest in Jharkhand so far. It has never been in history that four parties have come together to fight the elections."
He added that NDA allies are willing to swap seats if required at the last moment. He criticized the current state government led by Hemant Soren, calling it "the most corrupt in the state's history."
Deo also commented on the upcoming visit of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to Jharkhand, suggesting it would benefit the NDA, saying, “We wanted Rahul Gandhi to come here earlier. His coming here would for obvious reasons help increase the seats for our party.”
The Election Commission announced the state assembly election dates earlier this week. Jharkhand will vote in two phases on November 13 and November 20, with votes counted on November 23. There are 2.60 crore eligible voters in Jharkhand, including 1.31 crore male voters and 1.29 crore female voters, with 11.84 lakh first-time voters.
In the 2020 assembly election, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) won 30 seats, BJP won 25 seats, and Congress secured 16 seats. In the 2014 election, BJP won 37 seats, JMM won 19, and Congress won 6. (ANI)
