This time, it was chief minister Hemant Soren 's personal appeal that led the INDIA bloc to impressive victories across the state's tribal constituencies . The INDIA bloc secured decisive wins in Lohardaga, Bishunpur, Gumla, Sisai, Kolebira, and Simdega, defeating BJP and NDA candidates by significant margins. IPL 2025 mega auction IPL Auction 2025: Who got whom IPL 2025 Auction: Updated Full Team Squads Political analysts attribute this success to Soren's popularity rather than individual candidate merit. The coalition govt's welfare schemes played a crucial role in swaying voters, including monthly financial support for women, electricity bill waivers, free power up to 200 units, and loan relief for farmers. These initiatives attracted even traditional BJP supporters in rural areas. "We voted for the bow and arrow symbol seeing Hemant Soren, despite our local candidate's poor performance," said Soma Oraon, a farmer from Bishunpur assembly constituency. Similar sentiments were echoed by other voters, including Jhargaon village's gram pradhan Minjwa Oraon and JMM supporter Pyarelal Oraon. The impact of welfare schemes was evident in voter testimonials. Eqlakhul Ohdar from Sisi-Katri village praised the electricity bill waiver, while women voters appreciated the direct financial support. In Bishunpur, incumbent JMM MLA Chamra Linda secured his fourth term with a historic margin of 32,756 votes, garnering 1,00,336 votes despite earlier setbacks. Sisai witnessed Jigga Susaran Horo's victory with an impressive lead of 38,989 votes, despite initial resistance from local JMM units. Gumla constituency saw JMM's Bhushan Tirkey retain his seat, defeating BJP's Sudarshan Bhagat by 26,301 votes. The INDIA Bloc's success was attributed to issue-based politics and vigorous campaigning by both Hemant Soren and Kalpana Soren. BJP's defeat in these tribal seats was partly due to internal discord and top-down candidate selection. A senior BJP leader revealed that local cadre suggestions were ignored in at least two seats in Gumla district, leading some party sympathizers switch support to INDIA bloc candidates. "The party leadership's failure to consider local opinions during candidate selection cost us dearly," admitted Dukhan Yadav, a long-time BJP worker. The results underscore how personal leadership appeal and welfare policies can significantly influence electoral outcomes, similar to the Modi effect in national politics, but this time working in favour of the regional alliance.

Soren's popularity and the coalition government's welfare schemes, including financial aid and electricity subsidies, proved crucial in swaying voters. Testimonials highlighted the impact of these initiatives, even drawing traditional BJP supporters. Barhait election results 2024: JMM's Hemant Soren wins by margin of 39,791 votes Hemant Soren of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has secured a resounding victory in the Barhait assembly constituency, defeating BJP's Gamliyel Hembrom.

This victory marks Soren's consecutive win in the constituency, having also emerged triumphant in the 2014 and 2019 elections. Jharkhand election results: INDIA bloc passed test of time, says Hemant Soren Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren celebrated a decisive victory for the INDIA bloc in the state assembly elections. Soren highlighted the bloc's performance as a testament to their commitment to the people of Jharkhand, contrasting it with the BJP's alleged focus on resource exploitation. He expressed gratitude towards voters and alliance members, acknowledging the challenging campaign.

“I can’t remember a comparable case of interference in the election campaign of a friendly country in the history of the western democracies,” Merz told the Funke media group on Sunday. Merz’s remarks come after German newspaper Welt am Sonntag published an article by Musk describing the AfD as the “last spark of hope” for Germany. The article has been widely criticised by MPs across the political spectrum as a clear instance of interference in German democratic processes less than two months before snap elections. [ Elon Musk pens German newspaper opinion piece supporting far-right AfD party Opens in new window ] Polls have the AfD in second place behind Merz’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) , with the Social Democrats (SPD) of chancellor Olaf Scholz trailing in third place. Mainstream parties in Germany revile the AfD, which has called for the mass deportation of people with immigrant backgrounds and wants Germany to exit the EU. Large sections of the party have been designated extremist by German domestic intelligence and placed under surveillance. Saskia Esken, SPD co-leader, harshly criticised the Musk article. “Our democracy is capable of defending itself, and is not for sale,” she told Reuters. “Whoever tries to influence our election from outside, whoever supports an anti-democratic, misanthropic party like the AfD... should expect fierce resistance from us,” she said. Matthias Miersch, SPD general secretary, also attacked Axel Springer, the media conglomerate that owns Welt am Sonntag., saying it was “shameful and dangerous” that the company had provided Musk with a platform to campaign for the AfD. [ Bluesky may be in danger of becoming Elon Musk’s black mirror Opens in new window ] Andreas Audretsch, a senior Green MP who is leading the party’s election campaign, also criticised Musk’s article. “It damages our democracy when Herr Musk, the Chinese state or Moscow’s troll factories subvert our democratic discourse,” he said. Welt comment editor Eva Marie Kogel announced over the weekend that she was resigning, in a sign of the anger the decision to publish the Musk piece generated in the paper’s newsroom. “Journalism lives off independence and credibility, Die Welt lives off its reputation,” said Mika Beuster, head of the DJV, the German journalists’ association. “All of that is being thrown, with a great clatter, in the dustbin.” Insiders at Axel Springer, which also owns Politico, rejected the claim that, by publishing the Musk article, they were providing a platform to the billionaire and the far right. [ The old order of globalisation may be collapsing – and bringing Germany with it Opens in new window ] “He’s the owner of Twitter and with one tweet he can reach 200 million people,” said one. “Who is Welt to give him a platform? He is a platform. Better to publish this on our platform where we can guard it and flank it with our own opinion.” In his article, Musk, a close adviser to US president-elect Donald Trump and a friend of Axel Springer chief executive Mathias Döpfner, praised the AfD’s policies of market deregulation, tax cuts and cutting red tape, as well as its opposition to immigration. He also dismissed the idea that the party was “right-wing extremist”, noting that its co-leader, Alice Weidel, is in a same-sex relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. “Does that sound to you like Hitler? Please!” he wrote. Merz said Musk had “overlooked” a few important points in his article, saying he would never have been able to build his Tesla factory in the east German state of Brandenburg with the AfD. It was the far-right party that had, he said, “put up the fiercest opposition to the plant”. [ German ministry denies claims it considered sanctioning academics supporting Palestine Opens in new window ] He also noted that any Brexit-style withdrawal from the EU, as advocated by the AfD, would cause huge harm to the entire German economy, “not only the car industry”. “You could recognise these relationships pretty easily provided you didn’t derive all your information from your own social media channels,” Merz said. – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2024

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Emerance Maschmeyer turned in 34 saves on 35 shots on goal and the Ottawa Charge held off the New York Sirens 3-1 on Sunday for their second win in six games. Playing their first game in 10 days, the Charge got a first-period goal from Emily Clark and Shiann Darkangelo and Kateřina Mrázová added second-period goals to build a 3-0 lead through two periods. Ottawa has scored at least three goals in all five of its meetings with New York over two seasons. Alex Carpenter earned a third-period assist to extend her scoring streak to nine straight games dating to last season. Sarah Fillier's goal moved her into a tie for the league lead with eight points in her first eight games after being drafted No. 1 by the Sirens. Ottawa's defense neutralized much of New York's speed advantage and used a strong penalty kill to take a 1-0 lead after one period after Clark tipped home a wrist shot from the point by Brianne Jenner six minutes into the game. The Charge added two goals in the first seven minutes of the second period but could not capitalize on a pair of power plays late in the period. Fillier wasted little time getting New York on the board in the third period, firing a shot past Maschmeyer 23 seconds into the period, but the keeper saved the next dozen shots, including an almost three-minute finish when the Sirens pulled goalkeeper Corinne Schroeder to gain a player advantage. New York's Jill Saulnier was activated off long-term injured reserve following an upper body injury sustained in the opening game December 1. AP hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/hockeyThe crypto scene is moving rapidly with the spotlight shifting from established projects to up-and-coming projects.
