BJP, which won by a record margin in Maharashtra, lost by a record margin in Jharkhand. The reason which is being called a game changer in Maharashtra, is the same reason which becomes a headache for BJP in Jharkhand. Obviously, after the successful experiment in Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar, the CM of any state who has tried to harness women power has won despite standing on the verge of defeat.
All the parties were confident about the assembly elections of Madhya Pradesh that Shivraj Chauhan’s government is going to go. But Shivraj changed everything by bringing a scheme for women and BJP shattered the dream of Congress by getting a landslide victory. This is now being seen in other states as well, which include Maharashtra and Jharkhand today.
Did one decision of Hemant change the game?
After voting on November 21, the Election Commission claimed a record 67.74 percent voting in Jharkhand. According to the commission, 1 crore 76 lakh 81 thousand 7 people participated in the voting, in which the number of women voters was 5 lakh 51 thousand 797 more than men. Not only this, according to the commission, in 68 out of 81 assembly seats, women have voted more than men, this has also been clearly underlined by the Election Commission.
Obviously, this statement of the Election Commission exposes the whole success of Hemant Soren. Hemant is on the verge of forming the government with a record margin of seats and if there is any reason for this, then it is the Maiya Samman Yojana, under which Hemant tried to convince the women of the state between 21 years to 50 years of age by saying that they will be given an amount of thousand rupees per month. This amount was successful in winning over poor tribals and general women. Therefore, a large number of women came out and voted heavily in favor of Hemant.
BJP defeated by Hemant’s move
BJP was thinking that Hemant has played the same game that Shivraj Singh Chauhan played in Madhya Pradesh and Eknath Shinde played in Maharashtra. Therefore, to woo women, BJP promised to give Rs 2100 per month after forming the government… Obviously, the government was of Hemant Soren. Therefore, after winning the election, Hemant Soren increased the monthly amount to women by Rs 1000 to Rs 2500 before the notification of the election was issued. Hemant Soren had started giving an amount of Rs 1000 and had announced to give Rs 2500 after forming the government in December.
Obviously, BJP’s move failed and women were seen voting in favor of Hemant Soren in Jharkhand. Therefore, it can be said that Hemant Soren’s plan of giving Rs 2500 instead of Rs 2100 worked. Therefore, Hemant Soren is seen winning the election by a huge margin.
Women voters are more than men in 28 assembly constituencies
In Jharkhand, women voters are in greater numbers in 28 assembly constituencies. Therefore, it is believed that the Maiyan Samman Yojana has had a direct impact on 28 seats. Obviously, the enthusiasm of women is proof of the fact that they have voted heavily in favor of Hemant Soren due to their higher numbers in 28 seats and the benefit of Hemant’s Maiyan Yojana in the remaining 40 seats.
Apart from other factors in favor of Hemant Soren in Santhal Pargana, Kolhan, North Chotanagpur, South Chotanagpur and Palamu, the Maiyan Samman Yojana has benefited Hemant Soren a lot. Therefore, after coming out of jail on bail, Hemant Soren opened his treasury for the people of the state and he has directly benefited from it in the elections.
However, a PIL was also filed in the court regarding this before the elections. But the Jharkhand High Court rejected that PIL and refused to ban this scheme. Obviously, after coming out of jail, Hemant Soren’s popularity among women increased a lot due to the Mayya Samman Yojana. Therefore, Hemant Soren was successful in defeating BJP and its allies.
Kalpana Soren also had a hand in Hemant’s popularity
As soon as Hemant Soren went to jail, Kalpana managed to win the by-election from Gandey. Kalpana’s political maturity in just a few months was surprising. Kalpana Soren was successful in establishing the belief among the people that the central government was deliberately harassing her husband Hemant Soren. Kalpana’s popularity increased to such an extent that Kalpana started acting as a bridge between women and the Hemant government. This is the reason why Kalpana Soren started being in demand all over Jharkhand and the Soren couple has achieved tremendous success in making inroads among women by doing a century of election campaigning.
Successful in returning to power again
Kalpana has won from Gandey again. At the same time, due to the campaign of Kalpana and Hemant Soren, Congress has won a huge victory despite being the weak link. The promise of providing gas cylinders at Rs. 450 by the Hemant Soren government is also considered to be helpful in this victory. Obviously, the Soren couple foiled the issues on the basis of which the BJP wanted to win Jharkhand and Hemant Soren succeeded in returning to power again.
