Political condition
Chief Minister Raghubar Das-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is hoping to retain power in the state. BJP is widely expected to contest the election in an alliance with the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU).
BJP’s ally in Bihar, the Janata Dal (United), has said that it will contest all 81 seats alone.
After witnessing below-expectation Assembly election results in Haryana and Maharashtra in October, the BJP is recalibrating its strategy. Many factors that came into play in Haryana and Maharashtra could play a key role in Jharkhand too.
The Abrogation of article 370 was the major agenda that was kept by BJP in Haryana and Maharashtra election but this was not highly accepted in both states, BJP in both states has to take the support of other political parties to claim their majority in both the state.
