00:00Hello and welcome. You're watching One India. As the 2024 Assembly elections approach, political
00:16dynamics are intensifying in Jharkhand and Maharashtra. With significant developments
00:22in both states, the major parties and alliances are doubling down on strategies to win key
00:27constituencies. Starting with Jharkhand, as the state gears up for the 2024 Assembly election,
00:35the focus is firmly on the North Chhotanadpur region, a key battleground for both the ruling
00:41JMM-led alliance and the opposition BJP. This region, known for its tribal population, has
00:48historically been a stronghold for the Bharatiya Janata Party, but the ruling alliance, led
00:54by the Chief Minister Hemant Soren, is hoping to retain the control. The North Chhotanadpur
00:59region comprises crucial constituencies like Dhanwar, Koderma and Hazaribagh, where both
01:06parties are pulling out all the stops. The BJP is relying heavily on its appeal to the
01:13urban electorate and promises of infrastructure development. On the other hand, the JMM-led
01:19alliance, which includes the Congress and RJD, is emphasising tribal rights and the
01:24protection of land and resources. With the BJP having won a significant number of seats
01:30in the last election, this time it is focusing on revamping its approach and countering the
01:36government's social welfare policies. The ruling alliance, which has been dealing with
01:41internal issues, including a friction with the Congress, hopes to retain the support
01:46of tribal communities by emphasising their development agenda.
01:52Now talking about Maharashtra, the political landscape is rapidly evolving, with significant
01:58updates ahead of the 2024 state elections. The Congress party, part of the MVA, Mahavikas
02:04Agadi coalition, has taken a tough stance by suspending all rebel candidates for a six-year
02:10period. This move comes after several party members expressed their intent to contest
02:16against official candidates, causing disruption within the ranks. The discussion to suspend
02:23rebel candidates is seen as a strategic one by the Congress leadership, aiming to maintain
02:29unity within the MVA alliance, which also includes Shiv Sena, UBT and the Nationalist
02:35Congress Party, NCP. The Congress has made it very clear that no friendly fight will
02:41be allowed within the alliance, signalling that there will be no overlapping or joint
02:46contest between MVA constituents. This move is designed to prevent further fragmentation
02:52of votes and avoid unnecessary competition between coalition partners.
02:57Meanwhile, the BJP continues to play an active role in the Maharashtra election campaign,
03:04focusing on issues such as inflation, unemployment and handling of the economy by the MVA government.
03:10The battle for the state remains intense, with both the BJP and MVA ensuring they retain
03:17their respective voter bases. As the election season intensifies in both Jharkhand and Maharashtra,
03:25the political climate is rapidly changing. In Jharkhand, North Chhotanadpur remains a
03:31region to watch closely, with both the BJP and the JMM-led alliance going head-to-head.
03:37In Maharashtra, the Congress is taking a hard stance on the rebels within the ranks
03:42to solidify its position in the MVA alliance, while the BJP seeks to build momentum for
03:48the upcoming polls. With both states facing crucial contests, the final outcome will be
03:54determined by how these strategies unfold in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more such
04:00updates as the campaign heats up ahead of the 2024 assembly elections.
