Jharkhand Legislative Assembly elections<\/h2>\n

Jharkhand legislative assembly elections are set to occur in November and December this year. Ahead of the state assembly elections, the BJP, JMM, and other parties have begun their groundwork and started formulating a strategy for the polls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Last week, the BJP conducted a meeting of all its district heads. The meeting was also joined virtually by election in-charge and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan. Other senior BJP leaders like Himanta Sarma, Babulal Marandi, etc also joined the discussion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said, “I have heard this in reports only. I don’t have any authentic information… He (Champai Soren) was serving Jharkhand as a good CM… Everything depends on the central leadership”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
