Reportedly the jharkhand Mukti Morcha-Congress-RJD "grand alliance" has won a clear majority in the jharkhand assembly election, the results for which were declared on Monday. Meanwhile this comes as yet another disappointment for the bjp this year, which was hoping to retain power in the state and which earlier saw maharashtra slip out of its hands.
Furthermore elections to the 81 assembly constituencies were held in five phases between 30 november and 20 December. Counting of votes was held on 23 December. Accordingly Hemant Soren, the chief ministerial candidate of the Opposition alliance on monday said the people of jharkhand have given a clear majority to the JMM-Congress-RJD combine. Soren, who has been projected as the chief ministerial candidate of the alliance, said all the opposition partners will meet to "strategise the future course of action".
Moreover he thanked congress leaders sonia gandhi, rahul gandhi, priyanka gandhi Vadra, RJD supremo Lalu prasad and his father and JMM president Shibu Soren and apparently he also thanked the people of all sections and the media. Perhaps "The people of jharkhand have given a clear majority to the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance. A new chapter begins, which will prove a milestone," Soren, who is the working president of JMM, told a press conference soon after trends showed a clear majority to the opposition alliance. Overall, the Opposition Grand Alliance won 47 seats with JMM, which contested in 43 of the total 81 seats, winning 30 seats and emerging as the single-largest party in the state. Reportedly
Soren won both the Barhait and the Dumka seats. He won Barhait with a margin of over 25,740 votes whereas, in Dumka, his victory margin was 13,188, where he defeated bjp leader and women, Child and Development minister Dr Lois Marandi.
