Assam: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed optimism regarding the formation of a BJP-NDA government in Jharkhand as the state gears up for its upcoming Assembly elections.
Speaking to reporters on October 20, Sarma conveyed his best wishes to the state and its citizens, emphasizing the hopeful outlook for the BJP’s performance.
“The election list has been released. I hope that our government will be formed and I wish everyone all the best,” said Sarma. When pressed for comments on the potential victor among the political parties, he maintained a diplomatic stance, referring to himself as “a guest in Jharkhand” and refraining from making predictions about the electoral outcome.
However, Sarma hinted at a favorable sentiment towards the BJP-NDA alliance, stating, “From the mood of the people that I have seen, I feel that the BJP-NDA government will be formed.” His remarks suggest that he perceives a positive reception towards the BJP’s campaign efforts among the electorate.
In the lead-up to the elections, Sarma noted that the All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) plans to contest 10 seats, while the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) will field candidates in 2 constituencies. Additionally, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has been allotted one seat. The BJP will contest the remaining seats, creating a strategic alliance aimed at consolidating their position in Jharkhand.
By coordinating seat distribution among its partners, the BJP-NDA alliance aims to present a united front as they prepare for the electoral battle ahead. As the elections draw closer, the political dynamics in Jharkhand continue to evolve, with the BJP seeking to strengthen its foothold in the state.
