Ranchi: The BJP is set to form the next government in Jharkhand. The party took an early lead as counting began today, and hours later the only suspense was on whether its alliance would manage to cross the halfway mark at 41 in the 87-member assembly.
The party and its ally, the All Jharkhand Students' Union, ended up winning 43 seats -- a massive gain of 20 seats from five years ago. The BJP won 37 seats, the AJSU six. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, which was in power, won 18 seats. Its former ally Congress was wiped out, winning only in 8.
The new Chief Minister is likely to be Raghubar Das, the vice-president of the state party. If selected, he would be the first non-tribal man at the helm of a state which has around 32% tribal population.
Asked about his prospects for the top job, Mr Das said, "The party's Parliamentary Board and the honorable Prime Minister will take a decision on this. But I wish to assure the people of Jharkhand and Jamshedpur that I'd always be there to serve them." he added.
Chief minister Hemant Soren has already sent his resignation to Governor Syed Ahmed.
Among the key headlines in the state is the number of former chief ministers who were felled in this election: Babulal Marandi from both Giridih and Raj Dhanwar seats, Madhu Koda from Majhgaon, Arjun Munda from Kharsawan and outgoing Chief Minister Hemant Soren of JMM from Dumka. Mr Soren, however, won in Barhait, the other seat he contested from.
