Let us tell you that in Jharkhand, BJP is in direct competition with JMM. BJP leaders are making strong efforts to oust Hemant Soren’s government from power. Hemant Soren’s party JMM is in alliance with Congress, RJD, while BJP is contesting the elections with AJSU, JDU and LJP (Ram Vilas). Senior leader of Hemant Soren’s party and former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Champai Soren is now claiming BJP ticket, this is a big problem for Hemant Soren. At present, all the parties are boasting about their victory, however, the decision as to who will hold power in the state will be taken on the day of election results, 23rd November.
