Amid the counting of votes for the Jharkhand state Assembly, posters stating "Jharkhand ki pukar hai, gathbandhan ki sarkar hai" were spotted in Ranchi. "Hemant ab ki baar hai," the posters also read referring to former CM and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Hemant Soren. Notably, early trends in the counting show Congress-JMM-RJD alliance crossing the halfway mark in Jharkhand.
