‘Jinx’ On Jharkhand CM’s Post Remains Unbroken In 2019 Too
Jharkhand election
results: Unfortunate for BJP in continuing the 2nd turn of chief minister in Jharkhand assembly elections,
but one learns from their own shortcomings. The results declared in the 2019
Jharkhand Assembly election on Monday again made it clear that the state Chief
Minister`s post is still “unfortunate” with none of its holders managing to get
a second consecutive term even as current Raghubar Das was trailing in his own
stronghold because of which BJP was swept out of the power.
However, Das should be applauded for earning the distinction of
becoming the first Chief Minister of the tribal-state, engraved out of Bihar in
2000, to complete a full term in power, but in 2019, anti-incumbency, rural
distress, resentment over lack of jobs and even a divide within over the choice
of poll candidates had to bear the loss.
Since its beginning, Jharkhand has seen 10 Chief Ministers and three terms of President`s rule-
- Bharatiya Janata Party, Babulal Marandi, became the first Chief Minister on November 15, 2000, but only was in power till March 18, 2003.
- Then the party`s Arjun Munda, who succeeded him, was in power till March 2, 2005.
- Then Jharkhand Mukti Morcha founder, Shibu Soren, after 2005 elections, occupied the Chief Minister`s chair from March 2 to March 12, 2005, before Munda returned to the post.
- However, until September 19, 2006, he was in power.
- Then independent MLA Madhu Koda became Chief Minister When his government fell, and Koda served till August 27, 2008.
- Soren again came back as Chief Minister on August 27, 2008, but only served till January 19, 2009.
- Then the President`s Rule was imposed.
- Soren then again came back as Chief Minister on December 30, 2009, but was only in power till June 1, 2010.
- President`s Rule was again imposed.
- On September 11, 2010, Munda returned as Chief Minister but his third stint was only till January 18, 2013.
- President`s rule was again imposed.
- The current CM JMM`s candidate Hemant Soren, of grand JMM-Congress-RJD alliance, became the Chief Minister of Jharkhand on July 13, 2013, but had to resign office on December 28, 2014, after the defeat in the Assembly elections.
- Das then became the first non-tribal Chief Minister of the tribal-state, which he successfully completed 5 years tenure.
- In 2019, his, own electoral venture seemed destined.
