The first phase of Jharkhand assembly elections is set to begin, with 43 seats up for grabs across 15 districts. This high-stakes contest pits the ruling JMM-led INDIA bloc, led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, against the BJP. Former Jharkhand CM Champai Soren, now a BJP candidate, and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma have been key figures in BJP's campaign, emphasizing issues like Bangladeshi infiltration. Meanwhile, Hemant Soren and Congress leaders have countered by accusing the BJP of promoting communalism. Voters, especially the tribal population, hold significant influence in determining the outcome as both sides seek support.
