Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), part of the INDIA alliance, is set to form its third consecutive government, securing leads in 55+ seats, well above the 42-seat majority mark. Defying exit poll predictions and overcoming challenges such as Soren's arrest in a money laundering case, the party retained its stronghold across key regions like Chota Nagpur and Santhal Pargana. JMM's campaign, focused on welfare schemes like Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana and tribal pride, resonated with women voters, evident in high female turnout. Meanwhile, BJP's campaign targeting illegal immigration failed to gain traction, securing only 23 seats.
