Ahmedabad. 23 December 2019, Monday

In the Jharkhand assembly election results, the Mahagathbandhan has outperformed the BJP in the race of power of JMM, Congress and RJD. When the counting began this morning, it was initially reported that the BJP was in the lead and once again the government would form a government together with AJSU. But in a matter of minutes the figures changed and the JMM and the Congress front took the lead in the hands of the BJP.

In the Jharkhand assembly with 81 seats, the BJP was leading in 30 seats while the JMM and the Congress front were leading in 41 seats. By ten o'clock in the morning there were no results. Exit polls show that this time, BJP was likely to lose Jharkhand. Jharkhand had voted in five phases between November 30 and December 20. Jharkhand is the second state of the year after Maharashtra, in which the BJP has lost power.

The BJP decided to fight alone
In the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and the RJD where the coalition contested, the BJP on the other hand decided to fight alone. In the last election, the BJP's alliance with Ajusa was broken. Even within the party, there were voices of rebellion for Chief Minister Raghubar Das. But the BJP ignored everything.

Saryu Rai became a gardener
Senior party leader and minister Saryu Rai had blamed the bugle against CM Raghubar Das. He acknowledged that his and Raghuvar Das' supper had been running since 2005. While Raghubar Das was the minister. Responding to why Saryu Rai fought against his own chief minister, I said, I would not rebel with the party. But after the way the party insulted me, I thought it fair to contest from another party.

Warned CM
Saryu Rai was not given a ticket in this election. After making his statement, he said, "It is not appropriate for me to beg for a seat from the party leadership. So I told them not to think in my name. At the same time, Saryu Rai had resigned from the post of minister with the post of MLA. In an interview, Khod Saryu Rai said, "I told him that you are on the road, he takes you to the coda. So let's handle it. I also spoke to Rajnath Singh and Ravishankar Prasad. But to no avail.
