About the Jharkhand Assembly Elections

Jharkhand is among the states where the political landscape is very fragile. However, the state witnessed stable governments in the last decade. Before Raghubar Das-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014, one of India's new states witnessed so much volatility in the political circle. The Raghubar Das government was the first regime to complete its full term. As Jharkhand voted to elect its next government, people hoped that the next government would be a majority government, which may last for five years.
