The seat has been a primary stronghold of the Congress, although the BJP won three Lok Sabha sessions during 1996-99. Ch. Lal Singh of the Congress has been a popular leader in this constituency of Udhampur, having won in 2004 and 2009 general elections. 

Present Political Scenario:

BJP may have an outside chance here

In Udhampur BJP has chosen state spokesperson, Dr. Jitender Singh . Even in 2009, BJP had lost the seat narrowly despite taking pole position in more assembly segments than Congress.

 About Giridih:

After Ranchi, Dhanbad and Giridih are two of the most populous districts of Jharkhand. 

These two districts are presently a part of the Red Corridor, owing to the frequent Maoist insurgencies in Dhanbad and Giridih. Known for the Bokaro Steel Plant managed by the SAIL, and various other large-scale industries such as the Indian Explosive Limited in Gumia (renowned for being the biggest explosives plant in India), and the Electrosteel Casting Limited, among other projects, Bokaro is an industrial hub. The districts of Giridih, Bokaro and Dhanbad, which are together managed by the Bokaro Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA), make this belt industrially productive and emerging. However, all these three districts have been identified as economically underdeveloped by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj in 2006, thus being funded under special governmental schemes such as the Backward Regions Grant Fund Programme.
