Jharkhand Assembly Election Results 2024: Hemant Soren’s magic has once again worked in Jharkhand. Here, India Alliance is going to form the government again under the leadership of Hemant Soren. India alliance has gone far ahead of the majority figures, leaving the BJP alliance far behind. There is a lot of difference between the two alliances. Hemant Soren’s victory is certain and this is his big victory. Now the discussion on his big victory has also started that what were the factors on which Hemant Soren betted and under his leadership the India Alliance got victory in Jharkhand.
After this victory, Hemant Soren’s political stature is sure to increase. Here it is important to know what were those factors which proved to be very important in the victory of India alliance.
Hemant shines on tribal dominated seats
There is a sizeable population of tribals in Jharkhand. There is more than 26 percent tribal population here. In many assembly seats of Jharkhand, the number of tribals is more than 40 percent. BJP made many moves to bring the tribals to its side but the result of this election shows that once again it was Hemant Soren and not the BJP who cast a spell on the tribals and the tribals expressed confidence in Hemant Soren only.
Let us tell you that no matter how hard BJP tried to win, it suffered a big setback in this election because it did not have any big tribal face in Jharkhand to compete with Hemant Soren. Even though Sita Soren, sister-in-law of Champai Soren and Hemant Soren, left Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and joined BJP, the tribals did not like her change of party. In the assembly elections, Hemant Soren got strong success in those seats where tribals were in large numbers.
Bumper victory on Muslim-Yadav dominated seats
Not only this, apart from the tribals, the Indian alliance was also successful to a great extent in maintaining coordination on Muslim and Yadav dominated seats. There are more than 10 seats in the state where their population is more than 50 percent. India Alliance has hoisted the flag of victory on these seats. Many BJP leaders gave the slogan of ‘Bantege to Katenge’ in Jharkhand, but here it had no effect and there was no polarization of votes. Here tribal identity is at stake more than Hindu-Muslim. Not only this, BJP had also raised the issue of Bangladeshi infiltration here very loudly, but Hemant Soren completely demolished this issue by giving the slogan of ‘Beti-Maati-Roti’ while accusing BJP of doing politics of ‘divide and conquer’. It was done and Hemant Soren’s slogan of Beti-Mati-Roti became a hit.
Hemant Soren going to jail was also in his favor.
Hemant Soren had to go to jail for illegally acquiring 8.86 acres of land worth more than Rs 31 crore. Hemant Soren made it a big issue in the elections and linked it to tribal identity. During the election campaign, he tried to spread the message to every household that poor leader Hemant Soren was put in jail by BJP as part of a conspiracy. Kept telling the public to take revenge by voting in the elections. To some extent, he was also successful in telling the large population, including the tribals, that he had not committed any scam and this was all BJP’s revenge politics.
Kalpana Soren took charge
When Hemant Soren was in jail, Champai Soren was made the Chief Minister of Jharkhand, but the command of the government was in the hands of Hemant Soren’s wife Kalpana Soren. During this time, Kalpana Soren came down to the ground and was engaged in edifying the party, everywhere she termed the jailing of Hemant Soren as an injustice to the people’s leader. Not only this, Kalpana Soren used to present her views in front of people in a different style. Even during the assembly elections, he campaigned vigorously. She kept going from village to village and during this time she talked to people and voters also kept connecting with her.
The magic of Maya Yojana worked
The magic of Hemant Soren government’s Maiya Yojana has also worked well in Jharkhand. Under Maiya Yojana, financial assistance is being provided to more than 51 lakh women in Jharkhand. Under this, financial assistance of Rs 1,000 is given every month to women in the state. Here BJP had announced to give Rs 2100 per month to women in the elections, but instead of believing in this promise of BJP, the public expressed confidence in the promises of Hemant Soren and the result was that Hemant Soren got a lot of benefit from it in the elections. Women have received many installments of this scheme. After financial help, especially tribal women have openly supported Hemant Soren in the assembly elections.
There are a total of 81 assembly seats in Jharkhand, out of which the Hemant Soren-led India Alliance is expected to get 56 seats. Whereas BJP seems to get 22 seats. Here, 41 seats are required to form the government and the India Alliance seems to be winning much more seats than the majority.
