Key Updates and Notable Constituencies
Gandey Seat
BJP candidate Muniya Devi has taken a strong lead over JMM's Kalpana Soren, wife of Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Devi is ahead by 3,621 votes, which would amount to an upset for the JMM.
Dhanwar Seat
State BJP Chief Babulal Marandi is leading by more than 5,000 votes as he holds on tight in this crucial constituency.
Seraikela Seat
Former Chief Minister Champai Soren is leading with a slender margin of 856 votes. Soren has won this seat uninterruptedly since 1991, hence this is a battleground.
Barhait Seat
Hemant Soren is leading by a gigantic margin of more than 11,400 votes, which could ensure his return as the Chief Minister.
Counting Continues, But Both Alliances Remain on Tenterhooks For the BJP-led NDA, early projections and exit polls had promised a comeback. The JMM-led INDIA bloc has exuded confidence and strategist campaigning, which reflects in the resurgence of its trends.
BJP MP Deepak Prakash, though upbeat, however pointed out that the rallies addressed by PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah drew huge crowds, which might have turned the tide in favor of BJP.
