Congress Faces Challenges in Jharkhand's Rajya Sabha Elections

In Jharkhand, the Congress seems to have a strong case for one seat in the Rajya Sabha elections, but the challenges before the party are no less. After accepting the leadership of Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the JMM, the party will also have to convince the RJD and Male. In the alliance, the Congress will need the help of the RJD and Male MLAs despite the green signal from the JMM. The RJD has four and Male has two MLAs in the Jharkhand Assembly. The Congress cannot ignore the cooperation of these two parties. After getting the green signal from the JMM in the Rajya Sabha elections, the Congress will have a big challenge in persuading the RJD and CPI Male MLAs to vote for the party candidate. However, the Congress leadership is in constant touch with the leaders of both the parties. In fact, the MLAs of the smaller parties of Jharkhand have emerged as the main reason for the defeat of the candidates. Many times independent candidates challenge the party's candidates in the Rajya Sabha elections.
