Lobbying has intensified for the Leader of Opposition’s post. According to the information, the Leader of Opposition will be selected before the special session of the Assembly begins from 9th. The names of former CM Babulal Marandi, former CM Champai Soren, former Speaker CP Singh and Neera Yadav are coming up in the race for the Leader of Opposition. On this issue, BJP's state president Babulal has said that let the cabinet of the Hemant government be formed, the Leader of Opposition will be selected before the session begins.

According to the information, the BJP is brainstorming on a tribal or non-tribal face for the Leader of Opposition. If the tribal face is made the Leader of Opposition, then one of Babulal or Champai Soren will have to be chosen. In the non-tribal face, the name of CP Singh, seven-time MLA from Ranchi, is leading. At the same time, Neera Yadav is also in the race. She has won the Koderma seat for the third time.

Recently, after the two-day review meeting of the BJP, BJP's Jharkhand in-charge Laxmikant Vajpayee had said that the new state president will be elected by February. There is also a discussion in political circles that Babulal Marandi can be made the leader of the opposition by giving the responsibility of state president to someone else. It is also being said about CP Singh that he has a long experience of parliamentary work.

After poor performance in the Assembly poll the BJP has decided to call a series of meetings from November 30 to brainstorm the reasons that led to a poor poll show in the tribal-dominated state.

In the recently concluded Assembly polls, Hemant Soren’s JMM-led alliance got a second consecutive term, winning 56 seats in the 81-member assembly, despite an all-out blitz by the BJP-led NDA, which managed only 24 seats.

According to sources, BJP's Jharkhand unit chief, Babulal Marandi, will be holding one-to-one meetings with all defeated candidates to understand the reason for the defeat.

In the Assembly polls, the BJP had given the task to its eight MPs and one MP of AJSU to focus on winning the maximum number of seats from their constituencies in the assembly elections. The party leadership had also sought their opinion during the ticket distribution. MPs were also included in the list of star campaigners. But, when the election results came, the performance of all except three was not good.

Union Cabinet Minister and Member of Parliament from Koderma, Annapurna Devi, had the best performance. Out of six constituencies of Koderma, the BJP won five seats with a strike rate of 83.33 per cent.
