With the trends showing Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)-Congress-RJD alliance crossing the majority mark in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, Congress committee in-charge for the state RPN Singh has said, "Results are a defeat of BJP's arrogance and diversionary tactics". Singh added that JMM's Hemant Soren will be next CM. Notably, BJP's incumbent CM Raghubar Das is trailing in his constituency.
