Jharkhand Assembly Poll Results: Find out what factors decided the previous government of Jharkhand

The previous Jharkhand Assembly elections were decided by a mix of socio-economic and political factors that resonated deeply with the state's voters. Key issues included tribal welfare, unemployment, rural development, and land rights, which became decisive in swaying public opinion. The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance successfully leveraged its tribal connect and promises of inclusive governance, securing significant support from rural and marginalised communities. Meanwhile, the BJP's focus on development projects and infrastructure faced backlash from anti-incumbency sentiments and dissatisfaction over economic policies. #jharkhandelection #maharashtraelectionresult2024 #electionresults2024 #votecounting #liveresults #liveelectionresults #assemblyelectionresult #jharkhandresult #jharkhandelectionresult #jharkhandelectionresultlive #jharkhandelection2024 #electionresults #brekingnews #maharashtraelection2024 #livenews ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.121~
