Know why there is tough competition on these 16 seats

Garhwah This is the hottest seat of Palamu division. Minister Mithilesh Thakur is the JMM candidate on this seat and once again he is facing Satyendranath Tiwari from BJP. But on this seat, former MLA Girinath Singh has tried to create a triangular contest as the Samajwadi Party candidate. It is believed that the votes received by Girinath Singh will decide who will win in Garhwa between JMM and BJP candidates, if Girinath Singh gets more than 20 thousand votes then it will be difficult for Mithilesh Thakur to win. In the 2019 elections, Girinath Singh was out of the election field, while Mithilesh Thakur had won this seat with a huge margin.

After the demise of Tiger Jagannath Mahato, his minister and government minister Baby Devi is JMM's candidate from this seat and she has faced a tough challenge from JLKM chief Jairam Mahato. Jairam Mahato has tried his best to break into this stronghold of JMM, however, Yashoda Devi, as AJSU candidate, has also tried her best to make the contest triangular.
Jamshedpur West Former minister and JDU candidate Saryu Rai is contesting against minister Banna Gupta on this key seat of Kolhan. Both have been traditional opponents of each other, in 2019 Saryu Rai contested the elections from Jamshedpur East seat where he defeated the then Chief Minister Raghuvar Das. This time he has returned to his old seat as a JDU candidate and here he has given a tough competition to Congress candidate Banna Gupta.
Chandankiyari: The prestige of BJP candidate and Leader of Opposition Amar Bauri is at stake on this seat falling within Bokaro district. For BJP, this seat is a question of credibility, so JMM has made Umakant Rajak, the main pillar of AJSU, its candidate on this seat. Former MLA Umakant Rajak has been contesting this seat as an AJSU candidate but this time he has changed sides. Here, how much and whose votes the JLKM candidates divide will decide who will win this seat.
Bermoh This is the second seat under Bokaro district where a close contest is being considered. JLKM supremo Jairam Mahato made it hot by contesting this major seat of the coal region.

MLA Amba Prasad is once again contesting from this seat from Congress's side while Roshan Choudhary is the candidate from BJP's side.

Chandraprakash's wife Sunita Chaudhary is an MLA from Ramgarh seat and is also an AJSU candidate. This seat is important in terms of political dominance in the families of Yogendra Saav and Chandraprakash Choudhary.
Jamtara: This seat, which was once held by Vishnu Bhaiya, a prominent leader of Bhumihar caste, who left his seat for Dishom Guru Shibu Soren, this time there is a close contest between Shibu Soren's elder daughter-in-law Sita Soren and Irfan Ansari, son of former MP Furkan Ansari. It is believed. On this seat of Santhal Pargana, which is considered an easy seat for the India alliance, BJP made the path of Irfan Ansari difficult by making Sita Soren its candidate. The alleged statement regarding Sita Soren put obstacles in Irfan's path. Congress and BJP candidates showed their full strength on this seat, this seat can affect the graph of Congress party.
Jamaah This time, the entry of Lewis Marandi, who was a minister in Raghuvar Das government in place of Sita Soren from JMM, in Jama assembly seat of Santhal Pargana made the election interesting. BJP made Suresh Murmu its candidate from Jama seat, which was the traditional seat of JMM. For the first time, such a tough competition is being seen for the seat.
Mahagama: This seat falling under Godda district can change the graph of BJP and Congress in Santhal Pargana. Minister Deepika Pandey Singh is contesting against BJP's Ashok Kumar Bhagat as Congress candidate on this seat.

BJP and Congress have tried their best.
Bokaro: There is a tough contest on this seat between Biranchi Narayan, who has become a weak link for BJP, and Shweta Singh, who has been a strong candidate for Congress. Shweta Singh, who lost the 2019 elections by very less votes, is again giving a tough challenge to Biranchi this time. Before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting, backward class Biranji Narayan tried his best till the end. Better booth management and votes received in rural areas will decide the victory or defeat on this seat.
broomstick: Nala assembly seat of Santhal Pargana has been the traditional seat of JMM. This time the highest voting percentage was 80 percent on this seat. The increased voting percentage has changed the entire equation. Assembly Speaker Ravindranath Mahato has faced a tough challenge from BJP candidate Mathav Mahato on this seat from JMM.
Bhavnathpur: There is a tough contest between JMM and BJP on this second seat which comes under Garhwa district. From the BJP side, there is a close contest between former minister and MLA Bhanu Pratap Shahi and JMM candidate Anant Pratap Dev. All the tricks have been used from both the sides, it is not easy to gauge the political temperature on this seat, hence both the parties and the alliance are in tension regarding this seat.
Vishrampurah Former minister and MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi once again contested the election as a BJP candidate on this key seat of Palamu division despite his increasing age. He was given a tough competition by RJD candidate Naresh Singh and BSP candidate Rajan Mehta. There were many candidates standing on this seat who were infiltrating the votes of both the major parties. The strength of the candidate, who is called the Votekatwa candidate, will decide who will win and who will lose this seat.
Panki: The election result on this seat of Palamu division may surprise. Despite huge resentment, BJP had fielded sitting MLA Kushwaha Shashibhushan Mehta as its candidate on this seat. The same Congress made Lal Suraj its candidate by cutting the ticket of former MLA Devendra Singh alias Bittu Singh. Bittu Singh's entry into the election field as an independent party created a new angle, after which it became difficult to predict victory and defeat.
Koderma: On this seat adjacent to Bihar, BJP once again nominated MLA and former minister Neera Yadav as its candidate. But this time he faced tough competition from independent candidate Shalani Gupta and RJD candidate Subhash Yadav. The equation on this seat changed after Subhash Yadav came out of jail, Lalu Yadav campaigned for Subhash even after his health deteriorated. Shalani Gupta, who remained in the field even after losing the 2019 elections, gave sleepless nights to the candidates of both the parties. It is believed that in this triangular contest, BJP lagged behind and RJD faced competition from an independent candidate. Defeat and victory on this seat can increase or decrease the figures of RJD and India alliance.
