High-stakes campaigning by INDIA Bloc and NDA 

Both the INDIA bloc and NDA left no stone unturned during their campaigns, with rallies and political engagements reaching fever pitch in the run-up to the elections. Confidence is running high among both camps.

 

Congress leader Rajesh Thakur expressed optimism ahead of the results, stating, “The Mahagathbandhan, including JMM and Congress, will form the government in the state.” Taking a swipe at the BJP, Thakur added, “Earlier, they said they would win 65 seats, but now they’re saying 55. Even when they're unsure.”

 

Countering this, BJP spokesperson Pratul Shah Deo remained resolute, saying, “We believe the NDA’s majority government will be formed in Jharkhand tomorrow evening.”  Maharashtra election results Date: time and where to watch updates on Nov 23
