Jharkhand Assembly Election Result: BJP respects mandate given by people of Jharkhand, says Amit Shah
The BJP is hoping to retain power in the state following facing setbacks and winning fewer seats than expected, in both Maharashtra and Haryana assembly elections, in comparison to 2014 elections. In addition, several allies of NDA, this time chose to contest the 2019 assembly election on their own.

File Image The initial trend for the result of the Jharkhand Assembly Election on Monday showed that a JMM-Congress-RJD alliance is inching closer to victory in the state and the BJP is trailing. The counting of votes for the 81 assembly seats in Jharkhand began at 8 am at 24 districts headquarters. The seats went to polls in five phases from November 30 to December 20. BJP candidate and CM Raghubar Das is trailing in the Jamshedpur East seat and Independent candidate Saryu Roy is leading. JMM's Hemant Soren leading in both the seats--from Dumka seat against BJP's Lois Marandi and from Barhait against BJP's Simon Malto.
In 2014, the BJP and AJSU alliance had fetched 42 seats, but Sudesh Mahto who led AJSU in the polls decided to jump into the Jharkhand battleground alone, without his old ally. Mahto lost the Ranchi Lok Sabha elections in 2014 after he was trounced in a bypoll in 2018 by a JMM greenhorn from Silli. In the backdrop of these political developments, Babulal Marandi-led JVM acquires a distinct position.
