#Jharkhand Election Live Update

Incumbent CM Raghubar Das has refused to concede defeat despite the Congress-JMM alliance touching the majority mark of 41. Speaking to reporters, Das has expressed confidence that the BJP will form the government again. The Congress-JMM alliance, meanwhile, says it should be invited first by Governor Draupadi Murmu over the BJP. The Congress is also in touch with Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik), which, along with AJSU, was eyeing the kingmaker role in the 81-seat Assembly. The battle for the Jharkhand chief minister seat is mainly between incumbent Raghubar Das, who is leading from Jamshedpur East, and JMM leader Hemant Soren, the son of Shibu Soren, who is leading from Barhait, but trailing from Dumka.
