Jamshedpur: BJP state president Laxman Gilua, who's the contender for Singhbhum Lok Sabha seat, faces a tough fight towards Congress’s Geeta Koda on the reserved seat. Singhbhum parliamentary constituency accommodates 5 meeting seats — Chaibasa, Majgaon, Manoharpur, Chakradharpur and Jagannathpur — 4 of which can be these days held through JMM whilst the other one is with Congress.
Gilua is in fray for the parliamentary constituency for the third time this yr. A take a look at results of 2014 Lok Sabha election show BJP had bagged 38.11% votes whilst Geeta, who had fought as an independent candidate, polled 27% votes. On the other hand, the joint candidate of Congress and JMM had won 14.06% and JVM-P had 4.49% share in the total votes polled. With Congress, JMM, JVM-P and RJD coming in combination to form the mahagathbnadhan this yr, the opposition’s vote share stands at a staggering 45.6%, throwing a challenge to BJP.
A senior BJP leader of West Singhbhum district stated, “The grand alliance indisputably poses a challenge for us.” He, on the other hand, stated BJP remained runners-up in 4 meeting seats and came far away third in one meeting constituency in 2014 polls. “Our birthday celebration did fairly smartly closing time. We have managed to secure the trust of the folks in the closing 5 years,” he further stated, including that his birthday celebration is assured of securing the seat this time, too.
JMM leader Bhubaneswar Mahato stressed on the margin of loss in the earlier Lok Sabha polls. Gilua had three,03,113 votes to defeat Geeta through best 80,000 votes. “With all the opposition parties coming in combination, we are assured that we will be able to rout BJP completely,” he stated.
Gilua didn’t sound frightened. He is banking on Prime Minister Narendra Modi govt’s welfare schemes and development works achieved through him in the constituency to secure votes. “The folks have realised that there’s no selection to PM Modi at the nationwide degree,” Gilua stated.
