Lok Sabha Election in Jharkhand
The upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Jharkhand are set to witness a major battle on the Dumka parliamentary seat. The contest is expected to be between the Shibu Soren family and the ruling Mahagathbandhan alliance led by the regional political party Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s (JMM) supremo Shibu Soren’s daughter, Sita Soren.
Sita Soren’s Candidacy
Sita Soren, who left JMM and joined BJP on March 19, has been chosen as the candidate from Dumka. There is speculation that a member of the Soren family or former Chief Minister Hemant Soren may also be fielded from Dumka. Hemant, currently in jail, is being considered for the Lok Sabha elections due to the support shown by party workers.
BJP’s Strategy
BJP has strategically fielded candidates like Vidhyut Varan Mahato and Kalicharan Singh to attract OBC and leading community voters respectively. With 13 candidates in the fray, including three women candidates, BJP is aiming for a strong representation in Jharkhand. If all three women candidates win, it will be the first time three female MPs will represent Jharkhand in the Lok Sabha.
Bharatiya Janata Party’s Ticket Distribution
BJP has announced candidates for 13 out of 14 seats in Jharkhand, reserving one seat for alliance partner AJSU party. The party has replaced five out of eleven sitting MPs with new candidates. The decisions have been made in line with the party’s motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’.
झारखंड में दुमका लोकसभा सीट पर महामुकाबला होने की संभावना है, जिसमें भाजपा की उम्मीदवार सीता सोरेन और शिबू सोरेन परिवार के बीच मुकाबला होगा। भाजपा ने झामुमो के सुप्रीमो शिबू सोरेन परिवार की बड़ी बहू सीता सोरेन को उम्मीदवार बनाया है। इसके अलावा, भाजपा ने अपने कोटे के 13 सीटों पर प्रत्याशियों की घोषणा की है, जिसमें तीन महिला प्रत्याशियों को चुनावी मैदान में उतारा गया है। धनबाद से पीएन सिंह और चतरा से सुनील सिंह को टिकट काटा गया है, जबकि दुमका सीट पर भी उम्मीदवारों में बदलाव किया गया है। इससे पहले भाजपा ने 11 में से पांच सांसदों का भी टिकट काट दिया है।
