NEW DELHI After a setback in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections, where BJP failed to secure any of Jharkhand's five ST seats, the upcoming Assembly election in the state has gained importance for the party. BJP is now focusing on securing tribal-dominated seats by showcasing prominent tribal leaders, aiming to replicate its 2014 performance when it won 11 out of 28 tribal seats. Additionally, the party is actively working to attract women voters, who are expected to play a crucial role in the election outcome.
BJP is making a strong push to win over tribal voters in Jharkhand, to unseat the JMM-led I.N.D.I.A bloc in the upcoming Assembly elections, set for two phases on November 13 and 20, 2024. The results will be declared on November 23, coinciding with those in Maharashtra. Determined to remove the Hemant Soren-led government, BJP sees victory in Jharkhand as an opportunity to regain momentum, following its recent Lok Sabha setbacks. The party is prioritising tribal communities, aiming to secure their support by addressing tribal concerns, promoting tribal leaders, and implementing favourable policies.
With tribal voters making up 26.21% of Jharkhand's population, BJP is focusing on the 28 ST-reserved seats out of the state's 81 Assembly seats. These seats have historically been challenging for the party, prompting it to bring former Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren into the fold.
