[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 21st November. The two-phase Jharkhand Assembly elections, which concluded on November 20, have set the stage for a fiercely contested battle between the ruling I.N.D.I Alliance and the opposition NDA. With political dynamics in the state reflective of the larger national discourse, the exit poll predictions by various agencies paint a complex and uncertain picture. Here, we analyze the numbers, the implications, and the stakes for both major players while offering a concluding opinion on what this means for Jharkhand and the nation. The Exit Polls: A Snapshot of Uncertainty Polling agencies have offered diverse predictions, indicating a tight race between the two alliances. Agency BJP+ (NDA) I.N.D.I Alliance Others Axis My India 25 53 3 Dainik Bhaskar 37-40 (38) 36-39 (37) 0-2 (1) Matrize 42-47 (45) 25-30 (27) 1-4 (2) P-Marq 31-40 (35) 37-47 (42) 1-6 (3) People’s Pulse 44-53 (48) 23-37 (30) 5-9 (7) Times Now-JVC 40-44 (42) 30-40 (35) 1-1 (1) Average 38 37 3 This data underscores a few critical points: A Marginal Advantage for NDA? While the average predictions place the NDA marginally ahead with 38 seats compared to the I.N.D.I Alliance’s 37, the numbers are far too close for any definitive conclusions. The “Others” Factor: The Others, predicted to secure around three seats on average, could emerge as kingmakers if the final tally remains as tight as projected. Agency Divergence: The stark differences in forecasts—for instance, Axis My India giving a decisive lead to the I.N.D.I Alliance (53 seats) while Matrize and People’s Pulse predict clear victories for the BJP+—highlight the challenges in predicting voter behavior in Jharkhand. Key Issues Influencing Voter Sentiment Local Governance and Development The Hemant Soren-led government has relied on welfare schemes, tribal empowerment, and rural development initiatives to secure its position. However, allegations of corruption and inefficiency have provided ammunition for the opposition. National vs. Regional Narratives The NDA has leveraged national issues such as economic reforms, security, and the Modi government’s performance to garner votes. The I.N.D.I Alliance, on the other hand, has positioned itself as a defender of state autonomy and minority rights, emphasizing localized concerns. Tribal Vote Dynamics Jharkhand, with its significant tribal population, is a battleground for identity politics. The ruling alliance, particularly the JMM (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha), has historically dominated this demographic. The BJP’s efforts to make inroads here remain a decisive factor. Employment and Youth Concerns High unemployment rates and lack of industrialization continue to haunt Jharkhand’s youth. Both alliances have promised reforms, but skepticism persists among voters. Implications of the Results For the I.N.D.I Alliance: A victory would solidify Hemant Soren’s leadership and boost the broader alliance’s credibility ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Failure to retain power might fracture the alliance’s unity in the state, with smaller partners like Congress potentially reassessing their strategies. For the NDA: A win would signify a resurgence of BJP’s dominance in Jharkhand and bolster its position in eastern India. A loss would raise questions about its ability to counter regional alliances effectively in upcoming elections. For Jharkhand’s Politics: A fractured mandate would likely lead to coalition politics, potentially slowing governance and decision-making in the state. The Road Ahead: Challenges for the Victor Regardless of who takes the reins, the next government faces a daunting task. Ensuring political stability, addressing unemployment, resolving land rights issues for tribals, and curbing corruption will be critical to fulfilling the aspirations of the people. A Reflection on Jharkhand’s Political Landscape Jharkhand’s elections are emblematic of India’s complex political landscape, where regional aspirations often collide with national ambitions.

The narrow margins in exit poll predictions underscore a deeply polarized electorate, shaped by competing narratives of development, identity, and governance. The I.N.D.I Alliance’s reliance on regional identity politics faces stiff competition from the NDA’s push for a broader nationalistic agenda. This contest reflects a larger trend in Indian politics: the increasing importance of regional voices even as national parties attempt to consolidate their positions. In my opinion, these elections are a litmus test for the strength of alliances—both regional and national. They also signal the growing importance of nuanced, localized campaigns over one-size-fits-all strategies. Conclusion: Jharkhand at a Crossroads As Jharkhand awaits its assembly election results, the state stands at a critical juncture. The outcome will not only determine its immediate governance but also shape its long-term trajectory in terms of development, tribal welfare, and political stability. Whichever alliance emerges victorious must prioritize inclusivity, address pressing issues, and foster sustainable growth. Only then can Jharkhand truly fulfill its potential as a thriving state in India’s federal structure.   The post Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024: A Tussle of Power and Predictions appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Jharkhand’s Ex-CM gave an interview to Kapil Sibal before getting arrested, shared key details

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the context of a land fraud case. Before he was arrested, Soren made clear in a statement that he was not afraid of the actions of probe agencies.

He appeared in an interview with Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal for his "Dil Se" YouTube programme where he criticized Bharatiya Janata-led Centre for making him a target using “political objectives”.

Hemant’s interview was shot on Tuesday in New Delhi. However, the release was made on Thursday. Soren in his interview also said that ever since the Jharkhand government was formed, several efforts have been made to topple the JMM government.

Hemant was subjected to a seven-hour question and answer round before being arrested by the ED. He was charged with an alleged money laundering case.

“As soon as I formed the government, it started facing challenges in which our primary opposition people were involved, but we tackled that,” Hemant Soren told Sibal.

Hemant took a dig on ED and said that the law enforcement agency has been sending him summonses since 2022.

“There is no FIR, there is no name, but the agency keeps trying to establish that 'you have broken a law',” Soren said during the interview.

"We (JMM) do politics on our own strength, we have stood on our own, we will protect what we have built," Hemant Soren said claiming that the actions taken by ED are solely aimed at harassing the ministers of his party- JMM.

"They know that if I am in the field, they will have problems. First, threaten, then give inducements, and then they get to such tactics... When they could not win politically, they are using other means," the ex-CM said.

"They can keep targeting me, I don't care. I am not scared of this. We entered power politics because only through this can we support people," Hemant Soren said.

As we said in the introduction to our 2019 exhibit Fashion Statement, “Your clothes send a message. What we wear can express, or disguise, our status, origins, values, and beliefs. Through style and materials, as well as literal text and logos, clothes show the world both who we are and who we want to be.” I’d hazard that for most of us, the stage from which we send that message tends to be relatively low-profile. But what if you find yourself on an actual stage, in the national or even international spotlight? And it’s January? What if, say, your stepmother or grandfather has been elected to national office, and everything you wear – shoes, coat, jewelry, mask – to the inauguration will be parsed and dissected and praised and dismissed by countless reporters and pundits, Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and amateur critics, and everyone in between? What meanings and stories would you want to convey through your attire?

I found myself thinking these questions yesterday, in the warm – and unscrutinized – safety of my office at the JMM, as I watched the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris. Read on.

SOUVENIRS -29 : IL NEIGE SUR LE HASARD

Mémoire des journées passées ensemble à Saint-Jeannet avec les frères Maurizio et Roberto Opalio...

MY CAT IS AN ALIEN INTERVIEW BY JACK CHUTER

How did your collaboration with Jean-Marc Montera arise?

Maurizio: It all came about one evening, after dinner at renowned French critic and writer Philippe Robert’s home. He was telling us the incredible story about the first time Jean-Marc Montera and Thurston Moore met in 1996. Maybe not many people know that Philippe Robert – who at that time run the cult fanzine called Numéro Zéro – is the main person responsible for their encounter, and helped to set up the recordings at Sonic Youth’s studio in NYC which led to the album MMMR (by Loren Mazzacane Connors, Jean-Marc Montera, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo).

In the same way, MCIAA’s collaboration with Jean-Marc Montera was highly suggested by the same Philippe Robert that night, who already figured out a great musical encounter: and he was totally right! We had a first telephone conversation with Jean-Marc Montera where we both felt that the trio had to be done soon, and so it was.

Union Of The Supreme Light was recorded at a show in Marseilles back in March 2015. What memories do you have of the performance itself?

M: So Union Of The Supreme Light is the live recording of the first ever show we performed in trio with JMM just two months after that phone call, occurred in Marseille at the legendary GRIM (Groupe de Recherche et d’Improvisation Musicales) which he co-founded in 1978 and directed until January 2017, when GRIM melted with GMEM, creating an even bigger cultural centre.

Roberto: It was definitely one of the most satisfying and nice shows we had the chance to perform. The concert hall at GRIM was wonderful, all made of wood and its floor entirely covered with twine striped moquette, a fantastic acoustic ambience and the sound coming from monitors on stage was simply perfect. The audience was exceptional: silent and focused from beginning to end. We would perceive its presence, yet a strong intimacy reigned all over, almost like when we record in the quietness of our small HQ in the Western Alps. The empathy with JMM was immediate and mind-blowing, something very rare.

In the hours preceding the show, including the soundcheck, we never talked about the music we were going to play, nor even tried to or felt the need to plan anything. I clearly remember the three of us in the backstage, looking at each other with complicity right before jumping onstage: the only thing we cared to agree was to start “in a silent way” instead of a blast. During the entire performance we two, as MCIAA, felt exactly like MCIAA had an additional third and complementary element fully in harmony with us, who was shaping the sound in the most spontaneous and symbiotic way possible, thanks to the so-strong psychic connection between the three of us. A simply magic experience.

How does the recording of the performance differ from your own memories of the experience?

R: What was stunning is that the final recording of the performance does not differ at all from our memories on stage: it’s exactly the same! This actually is not a thing to be taken for granted when listening back to a live recording, because our point of view shifts from stage performers to home listeners. That’s a totally opposite perspective that can confirm or diverge from our memory impressions. Instead, every time we..., ..., ...
