Congress as part of its alliance in the state had tied with Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (JVM) (Prajatantrik) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Out of 14 seats, Congress is contesting on 7 seats, JMM on 4, JVM on 2 and RJD on just 1 seat. However, after RJD was allotted a single to contest, it walked out of the Mahagathbandhan.
Lalu Yadav's RJD had initially demanded that it wanted to contest on 3 seats in Jharkhand, but brought down the number to two after other allies objected to it. Later only one seat was allotted to the party, following which it walked out of the grand alliance in Jharkhand.
RJD wanted to contest on Chatra and Palamu but got the latter one only. Following these developments, RJD decided not to give up its stronghold region Chatra and fielded its candidate where the Congress party had also nominated its candidate. This created a little awkward situation for the opposition parties and might cost them in loss of votes in the forthcoming polls.
Polling in 14 Jharkhand Parliamentary constituencies was scheduled to take place in four phases. While polling in the first, second and third phase of Jharkhand election is already over, here is the date and phase wise break up of when the election were held in all the 14 constituencies.
