In 2019, the election was fought separately
Let us tell you that BJP and AJSU fought separately in the last assembly election 2019. No agreement was reached between the two parties regarding the seating arrangements. AJSU alone contested 52 seats and fielded its candidates in only 52 seats and this caused losses to both parties. They could not repeat the 2014 election results and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha government led by Hemant Soren was formed in the state and the BJP had to play the role of opposition.
An agreement was reached in 2024 Lok Sabha elections
Both these parties learned the lessons of 2020 in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. An agreement was reached between the two parties on seats and BJP fielded candidates on 13 seats in the state and AJSU fielded candidates on one seat. BJP won eight seats and AJSU one.
Now that the elections are going to be announced soon, the talks between the two parties regarding the merger of the seats have become intense again. During the recent visit to the Election Commission, all the parties have requested that the election dates should be announced keeping festivals in mind.
An attempt to unite against Hemant Soren
Let us tell you that currently the government is running in Jharkhand under the leadership of CM Hemant Soren of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and parties like Congress and RJD are its constituent parties. BJP is exerting all its strength to remove the Soren government in Jharkhand and the meeting of central level leaders of BJP has also started in Jharkhand.
From these meetings, BJP leaders are constantly attacking the Hemant Soren government of Jharkhand. Issues ranging from tribal security to Bangladeshi infiltration are being raised.
