Mandate against hate: On the INDIA bloc and the Jharkhand election result

Coherent coalition, tribal unity and welfare measures help JMM

The victory in Jharkhand is an encouraging triumph (a great success) not just for the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) but also the INDIA bloc parties led by the Congress, which are **reeling** (feeling shocked or devastated) after a massive loss in the bigger State of Maharashtra. **Fashioned** (created or shaped) by the efforts of the JMM, which remains the **premier** (leading or most important) party of choice for the State’s tribal **electorate** (voters), the victory was also made possible by the **coalition** (a group of parties or people working together) partners, the Congress, the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the CPI(ML)-Liberation pitching in (contributing) with good performances. The **cumulative** (total or combined) adding up of the bases of these respective parties helped the JMM-led alliance earn the confidence of voters beyond seats reserved for the Scheduled Tribes, as the coalition defeated the Bharatiya Janata Party in seats reserved for Scheduled Castes and non-reserved ones as well. Clearly, the arrest and **subsequent** (following or coming after) release on bail of Chief Minister Hemant Soren played a role in the **consolidation** (the act of making something stronger or more unified) of support for the ruling party as the electorate did not buy into the allegations of corruption and the BJP’s *narrative* (story or account) about the government. Mr. Soren **belied** (disproved or contradicted) expectations of the BJP building on its success in the 2024 general election where its alliance won nine of the 14 constituencies in the State. The BJP had also **stitched** (formed or created) a coalition with the All Jharkhand Students Union Party (AJSUP) — which **eluded** (escaped or was difficult for) it in the 2019 Assembly election — and managed to rope in (recruit or bring in) former Chief Minister Champai Soren through a **defection** (the act of leaving one group to join another) from his parent JMM. These efforts to *negate* (invalidate or counter) the JMM’s *sway* (influence) over tribal voters came a cropper (failed) as Mr. Champai Soren’s influence was limited to his constituency and the AJSUP won only one of the 10 seats it contested.

More importantly, the JMM and the INDIA bloc were successful in negating (countering or disproving) the **shrill** (loud and harsh) campaign led by the BJP on the manufactured (artificial or made up) issue of “infiltration of Bangladeshi immigrants” into the Santhal Pargana region of northeast Jharkhand. This was a thinly **veiled** (hidden or disguised) attempt at mobilising (gathering or organizing) tribals using the agenda of Hindutva, which includes the **pernicious** (harmful or dangerous) “othering” of Muslims, and to drive a wedge (create division) between them and religious minorities. Santhal Pargana decisively voted for the JMM and its allies — 52% of the electorate favoured the ruling coalition, the highest among all regions in the State. Mr. Soren and the JMM’s *ploy* (tactic or strategy) to negate this *rhetoric* (language or discourse) as being divisive and manufactured and, instead, focusing on tribal unity, worked well. The Jharkhand victory also marks a rare triumph (victory or success) for a non-BJP alliance or a party in North India while being an **incumbent** (currently holding office) in power. Yet, the JMM’s challenges in governing one of India’s poorest States in terms of per capita income, despite being a mineral rich one, will remain. The JMM government sought to focus on *welfare* (well-being or health) to retain its support but it must now focus on job creation and **utilising* (making use of) its mineral wealth efficiently.
