Hello readers! Counting is under way. After a tight early count, I.N.D.I.A. bloc, led by JMM, have taken a comfortable lead over NDA. CM Hemant Soren experienced a comfortable win in Barhait, as did BJP's Champai Soren in Saraikella. Kalpana Soren trailed initially in Gandey but eventually won. However, BJP's Situ Murmu (alias Sita Soren) lost in Jamtara. This time, voter turnout reached a record 67.74 per cent, the highest since the formation of the state on November 15, 2000. Thank you for tracking this space for updates, here on DH.
