The BJP contested 79 of 81 seats in the Jharkhand assembly, supported an Independent candidate in one constituency and did not put up nominee against AJSU Party president Sudesh Mahto

Chief Minister Raghubar Das was dealt a severe blow in the Jharkhand assembly elections in which he failed to retain even his own seat, Jamshedpur East, which he lost to Independent candidate Saryu Roy, who is a BJP rebel and former minister.

Jharkhand is home to four major tribal groups - Santhal, Munda, Ho and Oraon. While the BJP is traditionally known to control the Munda votes, the JMM has a following among the Santhali vote while the Congress is believed to have the backing of the Ho and Oraon

All of Raghubar Das's predecessors, including Jharkhand's first chief minister Babulal Marandi, have been from the tribal community. The BJP tried to change the pro-tribal script in 2014 when it picked a non-tribal, Raghubar Das, from the backward Teli caste, to head the state

Raghubar Das, the first chief minister to complete a full term in office, proved anything but a deft politician. His attempts to change the tribal tenancy laws in 2017, which sought to dilute the protection the scheduled tribe had over their land, created a huge trust deficit for BJP in Jharkhand. The Congress-JMM led opposition along with the Church opposed the proposed amendments.The Das government had brought two bills in 2017 to change the two tenancy acts-the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act (CNTA) and the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act (SPTA)--to allow commercial use of tribal land. The move was largely seen as a pro-corporate and anti-tribal. Sensing the anger of the tribal community, the BJP had put the decision on hold before the Lok Sabha polls, but the opposition succeeded in conveying the message that Das would push the bills through if voted back to power

28 assembly seats are reserved for STs and 9 assembly seats are reserved for SCs out of the total 81 assembly seats

In 2014, when the BJP bagged its highest tally of 37 assembly seats in Jharkhand, it was largely possible because a significant section of the tribal community voted for the saffron party. It was manifested in the BJP's performance in the 28 ST seats, where it was almost on par with the JMM, often seen as the first claimant of tribal votes in Jharkhand (the BJP had bagged 11 seats whereas the JMM tally was 13). However in 2019, the JMM-Congress combine has now won 25 of these 28 seats and the BJP which contested all the seats could manage to win just 2 seats

However,BJP improved its performance in seats reserved for the Scheduled Castes. Of the 9 SC assembly seats in Jharkhand, the BJP bagged 6, one more than its 2014 tally of 5 seats

The last three-phases of voting were held in Jharkhand amid nationwide protests against the NRC and the CAA. On December 12, 16 and 20, polls took place for 43 seats out of the total 81 seats in the state. The result tally shows that the BJP won 17 seats followed by the JMM (11) and Congress (9), while the AJSU, a former election ally of the BJP, got two seats in the last three phases.
In 2014, the BJP had won 15 seats. In 2019, as per available data of the Election Commission, the BJP was able to retain only 10 seats. However, Congress and the JMM have gained two and six extra seats over their previous wins in the last assembly election.


This was the first state election since the creation of Jharkhand in 2000 that the BJP contested the polls alone. It junked its oldest ally in the state, the All Jharkhand Students Union Party, whose Sudesh Mahto tried till the very last moment to have a pre-poll tie-up with the BJP.

The BJP leadership, then smarting under the Maharashtra experience of having been "ditched" by 35-year-old ally Shiv Sena, decided to go solo in Jharkhand. The party, however, did not put up its candidate against Sudesh Mahto at Silli seat in Ranchi.

The trend from the counting of votes in Jharkhand shows that the BJP would have been in advantageous position had it conceded to demands by the AJSUP in the assembly election
