The BJP on Monday announced its second list of candidates for the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections, with Gamliyel Hembrom chosen as the party's nominee for the Barhait seat. Hembrom is set to challenge Chief Minister Hemant Soren in the constituency.
The BJP, in its strategic move, has decided to contest 68 of the 81 seats. This announcement follows their initial release of candidates for 66 seats. The elections, split into two phases on November 13 and 20, involve a total of 2.60 crore voters, including several thousand first-time electors.
Amid a challenging political landscape, the JMM and Congress-led opposition plans to contest 70 seats together. In 2019, the JMM alliance seized power from the BJP, marking a significant political shift in Jharkhand. The political dynamics remain tense as both parties vie for control.
