BJP Bags Jharkhand, J&K Gets A Hung Assembly

BJP chief Amit Shah says the party has all the options open as far as the formation of government in Jammu and Kashmir is concerned. This statement of the veteran politician comes after the party could manage 25 seats in the 87 member J&K assembly and has come second to the PDP which obtained 28.

Mr Shah has also congratulated the BJP workers in the both J&K and Jharkhand states for being there and seeing that the party does well in the elections. "2014 was the year of unprecedented electoral successes for the BJP," Shah said.

The think tank of the PDP will be sitting tonight to sketch their future course of action. They will have to choose between Congress and the BJP. The political pundits are of the opinion that the PDP should swallow its pride and ally with the BJP for the sake of the development of the state.

On the other hand the BJP has bagged 38 seats in the 81 member assembly of Jharkhand. With a little bit of political mathematics, it should reach the coveted number 41, which is just 3 steps away at the present moment.

For a state like Jharkhand, which has seen 9 governments in 14 years since its inception in 2000, a stable government is like a magic potion.

Congress Is Misleading The Public: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the Congress Party of telling lies and misleading the people of Jharkhand. PM launched this tirade at the Congress party in his election rally in Dumka, Jharkhand. 

"Congress doesn't even know the magnitude of the tribal people who stay in the nation. They never thought of working for them. Those against us are short of issues to criticize us. They wonder what to say, because we are devoted to serving the people. Congress holds a meeting every evening and thinks about what lies to spread, how to mislead the voters," Modi told the crowd.

Modi did not stop there, he accused the previous governments of looting the state coffers and resources. He urged the public to vote for the BJP to ensure development in the state.

"It is the development of the tribal communities that will lead to the development of the nation. Jharkhand has so much coal that you can remove darkness from all of India. If the previous governments did not work for the welfare of the people, what were they doing? They were looting you all," he spoke in his usual style.

"Do not give another chance to the people who have wronged you. If you do they will only wrong you more, punish them and they might get a lesson. Jharkhand is 14 years old now, when one is 14 years old care for them is intensified and this election will lay the foundation for Jharkhand for the next 100 years," he added eloquently.

The Election Commission said that the fourth phase of the five-phase election saw a voter turnout of 61.5% and no incident of violence was reported from the election zone.

The final phase of election in the state is going to be held on 20th December and the counting will take place on the 23rd of the same month.
