New Delhi. Jharkhand Assembly elections are also to be held this year. BJP has also started deciding the distribution of seats with its allies for the Jharkhand Assembly elections. Under this, there is news of agreement on seat sharing between BJP and All Jharkhand Students Union i.e. AJSU. According to sources, AJSU will field its candidates on 11 seats in the Jharkhand Assembly elections. In the meeting held at Home Minister Amit Shah’s house on Saturday, it was decided to give 11 seats to AJSU. AJSU leaders were also present in the meeting.
There are 81 seats in Jharkhand Assembly. 41 seats are required for majority. If we talk about the Jharkhand Assembly elections held in 2019, then 29 MLAs of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha i.e. JMM had won. 17 Congress MLAs were elected. 1 RJD MLA had won. All of them together formed the grand alliance government in Jharkhand. At the same time, the Grand Alliance also got the support of 1 MLA from the Left party. Apart from these, 26 BJP MLAs had won in the last Jharkhand assembly elections. 2 candidates of AJSU and 1 candidate of NCP also became MLAs by winning. This time BJP wants to remove the JMM led grand alliance government from power in Jharkhand at any cost. She is making all efforts for this.
Recently, BJP had also included senior JMM leader and former CM Champai Soren with itself. Apart from this, he also supported the wife of former CM Madhu Koda in the Lok Sabha elections. This time, by agreeing with AJSU on seat sharing, BJP has crossed a major hurdle in the way of contesting Jharkhand Assembly elections. At the same time, JMM chief and current CM of Jharkhand Hemant Soren is also continuously targeting BJP. Hemant Soren claims that BJP is going to be out of power in Jharkhand again.
