Jharkhand Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Political Scenario

All eyes are on the 2024 Jharkhand elections in the aftermath of the recent political turbulence just prior to the Lok Sabha elections. Notably, the baton of Chief Minister was passed from Hemant Soren of the JMM party to his successor, Champai Soren, amidst a money laundering scandal that ultimately led to former CM Hemant’s arrest. Despite the political upheaval, JMM remains firmly in the driver’s seat of state politics. However, the high-level political drama has spiced up the political scene, paving the way for a thrilling face-off between the ruling JMM and the insurgent BJP.
