Story of an IAS couple
The results of Jharkhand Assembly elections of 2019 have surprised not only BJP but also many current IAS, IPS and retired officers of the state. In this election, a former IAS officer Jyoti Bhramar Tubid, who was contesting on BJP ticket, lost the election for the second consecutive time. JMM’s Deepak Biruwa defeated JB Tubid by 26 thousand 19 votes from Chaibasa assembly seat and achieved the honor of becoming MLA from Chaibasa for the third time.
Let us tell you that JB Tubid had entered politics by taking VRS from the post of State Home Secretary in the year 2014, but in 2019, for the second consecutive time, a former IAS officer was defeated by an ordinary BA pass candidate on the strength of his strategy. Experts believe that the people of Chaibasa did not like the bureaucratic attitude of Tubid. This was the reason why JMM candidates remained ahead in counting of votes from the first round to the last round and could not defeat Tubid Deepak in even a single round.
