Jharkhand Assembly results 2024 Date, Time: The much-anticipated results of the Jharkhand Assembly elections will be announced on Saturday, November 23. Voting took place across the state’s 81 seats in two phases — on November 13 and November 20. The primary battle is between the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-led INDIA bloc and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-headed National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Adding to the day’s political drama, results for the Maharashtra Assembly elections and by-polls across 14 states will also be declared on the same day. The counting of votes begins at 8 am, with a clear picture of Jharkhand's next government expected by the afternoon.
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
