Concerns about central aid stalling
The Hemant Soren government wanted that OBC reservation should be implemented in the Panchayat elections, but it has not been able to do so yet. There is a possibility of delay in this work. In such a situation, the government has decided that Panchayat elections should be conducted without implementing reservation. The real concern of the government is about the stagnation of central aid. If the election continues like this, then there may be a loss of central grant. Therefore, the state government is not ready to take any risk now. Jharkhand’s Panchayati Raj Minister Alamgir Alam and Education Minister Jagarnath Mahto have also announced many times before the media that Jharkhand Panchayat elections can be held between April-May in any case.

All round development of Jharkhand
Jagarnath Mahto, while talking to the media at his constituency Dumri, said that Hemant Soren’s government is committed to the development of the state. This is the reason why all-round development of Jharkhand is taking place. At the same time, people’s problems are being solved. We are working with commitment to awaken the light of education in the region.

JMM will get electoral benefits from these announcements of the government
Whatever announcements the government had to make before this election, it has done in the budget session. The government will try to take advantage of the announcement of giving one rupee a kg pulses and 100 units of electricity free to farmers in the panchayat elections. Not only this, the government can also get the benefit of a grant of Rs 25 on petrol. Panchayat elections in Jharkhand will not be held on party basis, but the truth is that parties like JMM, Congress, BJP, AJSU will try to strengthen their hold by putting their workers in the field in a planned manner. This has happened in the earlier elections also.
