New Delhi, 11th March. Every political party is starting to participate in the Lok Sabha elections. To get more and more seats, they are attempting every ruse. The Lok Sabha seat at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand was created in 1957. It goes by Tatanagar as well. The industrial city of Jharkhand is another name for Jamshedpur. Voters from Kudmi, tribal, Odia, Bengali, and Bihari communities prove to be crucial in the Jamshedpur Lok Sabha seat. Another important factor is the votes cast by members of other castes and communities, such as Yadav, Muslim, Chhattisgarhi, and Kushwaha. There have been eighteen Lok Sabha elections held on the Jamshedpur seat thus far. BJP has emerged victorious from this position the most (six times), followed by the Congress and JMM with four victories apiece, and CPI, BLD, Janata Party, and Bhojohari Mahato with one each. The BJP has tried a lot of different things in the past to win this seat. The Mahabharata (1996) serial actor Nitish Bhardwaj, who portrayed Lord Shri Krishna, was nominated among them.
By a margin of 95,650 votes, Nitish Bhardwaj emerged victorious over two-time Minister and senior leader of the Bihar Janata Dal, Inder Singh Namdhari.
The first Lok Sabha elections took place in 1957
This is where the Indian National Congress emerged victorious in the 1957 Lok Sabha elections. MK Ghosh became Jamshedpur’s first Member of Parliament. The Jharkhand Party received 29.5 percent of the vote in this election, compared to 35.5 percent for the Congress Party. 19% of the votes went to the independent candidate. The Communist Party of India won the Jamshedpur seat in the 1962 Lok Sabha elections.
The Indian National Congress had switched to NC Mukherjee as its candidate in this instance, but Congress ultimately lost this seat. Jamshedpur-born Communist Party of India candidate Udaykar Mishra emerged victorious in the 1962 election. He was voted in with 41.3% of the vote, compared to 30.4 % for the Indian National Congress and 16.3% for the Jharkhand Party.
Congress triumphed in 1967
In the 1967 Lok Sabha elections, the Indian National Congress triumphed once more in this area. Congress replaced the previous candidate with Surendra Chandra Prasad this time around. The Communist Party received 16.5% of the vote, Bharatiya Jana Sangh received 12.6 %, and Congress had 35.5%.
The Congress Party once more switched candidates in the 1971 Lok Sabha elections, this time selecting Sardar Sarwan Singh. This time, the Communist Party of India’s Kedarnath received 26.5% of the vote, while the Indian National Congress received 26.6%. This election will be really fascinating. Due to the fact that there was a vote margin of less than a thousand between the winners and losers.
Bharatiya Jan Sangh received 12.3% of the vote, while All India Jharkhand Party received 16.6%.
The Jamshedpur seat was won by the Bharatiya Lok Dal in the 1977 Lok Sabha elections. Rudra Pratap Sarangi had received a ticket from the Bharatiya Lok Dal. In total, he received 48.7% of the vote, compared to 25.5% for the Indian National Congress. The Congress party had switched to VG Gopal as their candidate this time around.
1980 saw a victory for the Janata Party
Rudra Pratap Singh was the winner of the Janata Party ticket in the 1980 Lok Sabha elections. The Indian National Congress received 25.3% of the vote, the Communist Party of India received 23.8% and Rudra Pratap Singh received 28.55%. In the Lok Sabha elections of 1984, the Congress Party won the seat once more. Nonetheless, the Congress party substituted Gopeshwar Kumar for the original nominee this time as well. He received 44.4% of the vote. The Communist Party of India received 29.5% of the vote. Tikaram Manjhi was the Communist Party of India’s nominee this time around. JMM received 5.15% of the vote, compared to 10.2% for the BJP.
Another shift in the Jamshedpur Lok Sabha seat occurred in the 1989 elections, with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) winning the seat. Chandan Bagchi of the Indian National Congress received 24.7 percent of the vote, while JMM’s Shailendra Mahato received 26.3%. The Congress party had switched this time around for a different candidate. In contrast, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Rudra Pratap Sarangi received 22.3% of the vote, while the Communist Party of India received 21.4%.
JMM triumphs once more in 1991
During the 1991 Lok Sabha elections, JMM won this seat once more. Shailendra Mahato of JMM received 39.3% of the vote, BJP 28.5%, and Indian National Congress 16.8 %.
In 1996, the BJP prevailed
Nitish Bhardwaj of the BJP became the winner of this seat in 1996. The BJP received 32.9% of the vote. Nevertheless, Inder Singh Namdhari, the prominent figure in Jharkhand, ran for this seat on the Janata Dal this time around, but he only received 24.7% of the vote. Shailendra Mahato of JMM received 17.5% of the vote. The BJP switched candidates in the 1998 Lok Sabha elections, selecting Abha Mahato as their nominee. This was advantageous to the party as well.
With 41% of the vote, the BJP emerged victorious in the 1998 elections. 27.5% of the votes went to independent candidates. Abha Mahato was the BJP’s winner of the 1999 Lok Sabha seat. Ghanshyam Mahato of the Indian National Congress garnered 25.8% of the vote, compared to his 44.9%. With this excluded, 12.7% of the votes went to Sunil Kumar Mahato of JMM.
JMM won the Jamshedpur seat in the first Lok Sabha elections, which were held in 2004 following Jharkhand Patwari. This was won by Sunil Kumar Mahato. This time, JMM received 51% of the vote in this seat, compared to 37.4% for the BJP. There was another shift in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections when BJP candidate Arjun Munda won the Jamshedpur seat. Arjun Munda received 45.3% of the vote. Jharkhand Vikas Morcha received 11.2% of the vote in this election, while JMM received 28.3 %.
In anticipation of a hat-trick, electric selection
BJP has twice achieved a hat-trick in Jamshedpur (1996, 1998, 1999 and 2009, 2014 and 2019). Arjun Munda won in 2009, Nitish Bhardwaj in 1996, Abha Mahato in 1998 and 1999, and Bidyut Baran Mahato in 2014 and 2019. The public representatives who have each won twice are Rudra Pratap Shadangi (1977–1980), Shailendra Mahato (1989–1991), Abha Mahato (1998–1999), and Bidyut Baran Mahato (2014–2019).
The BJP’s nominee is once again Bidyut Baran Mahato. He will be the first contender to win a hat-trick from this seat if he prevails. Additionally, the BJP will win this seat for a record-breaking fourth time. All of the parties are currently hard at work getting ready for the Lok Sabha elections of 2024. Here, too, the BJP has conveyed its faith in Bidyut Baran Mahato.
