Hindustan Times|November 24, 2024

Jairam Mahato's JLKM makes its presence felt with victory in Dumri

Mahato won from Dumri assembly seat in Giridih district, wresting the seat from Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), which emerged as the largest party in the polls. Popular among his supporters as "Tiger", Mahato defeated JMM candidate and outgoing minister Bebi Devi by 10,945 votes, pushing AJSU Party's Yashoda Devi to a distant third.

While Mahato's party managed to win the solitary Dumri seat, JLKM candidates played spoiler for several nominees of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the AJSU Party, especially in the Kudmi-dominated Ramgarh-Bokaro-Dhanbad-Giridih belt. Mahato fielded candidates in 71 of the 81 assembly seats in Jharkhand and the results showed that his party's vote-share in a dozen seats exceeded the defeat margin of NDA candidates.
