Counting of votes for Jharkhand election tomorrow
RANCHI [Maha Media]: Jharkhand Assembly election results will be announced on Saturday. Voting was held on the state's 81 seats in two phases - on November 13 and 20. The primary contest in the state is between the ruling JMM-led INDIA bloc and the BJP-headed National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Results will also be declared for Maharashtra Assembly elections and by-polls in 14 states on the same day. The counting of votes will begin at 8 am and people will get to know by afternoon who is forming the next government in Jharkhand.
Both INDIA alliance and NDA carried out a high-octane campaigning in Jharkhand.
The BJP and its allies will likely emerge victorious in the Jharkhand assembly election, according to four exit polls. One exit poll forecast a win by the alliance comprising Chief Minister Hemant Soren's Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM).
Ahead of results, Congress leader Rajesh Thakur on Friday expressed confidence that Mahagathbandhan, including Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Congress, will form government in the state.
Thakur, former Jharkhand Congress chief, said that he wasn't sure about the number of seats Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was going to win since earlier they said they would win 65 seats, but now they are saying they will win 55 assembly seats.
BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo, however, countered saying that they believe that NDA's majority government will be formed in Jharkhand tomorrow evening.
