In New Delhi, ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly elections scheduled for November 2024, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced a list of 40 star campaigners. This list features prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and national president JP Nadda, as well as senior Union Ministers such as Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh. The party has formulated an alliance with regional parties including the All Jharkhand Students Union and the Janata Dal (United), planning to contest a total of 81 seats. On October 26, 2024, the BJP released its first list of candidates, which includes Babulal Marandi and other notable figures for various constituencies. This strategic move comes as the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the ruling party, finalizes its own candidates for the elections. The polling will occur in two phases on November 13 and November 20. The BJP is aiming to solidify its position in Jharkhand by leveraging the popularity and influence of its top leaders during the campaign. The listing of these star campaigners is a calculated effort to boost visibility and garner support across the state. This election is critical, as it will determine the power dynamics in Jharkhand's legislative assembly. With alliances in place and candidate lists announced, the stage is set for an intense electoral battle between the BJP and JMM, with significant implications for the political landscape in Jharkhand.
