<br/><br/> The 2024 Jharkhand assembly has completely reversed the Lok Sabha outcome in the state.<br/>It underscored a victory of effective grassroots-level electoral design and well-knit coalition that unified varied sections of voter groups under one political canopy. The outcome is marked by a consolidation of Adivasi consciousness and identity, the will to reject “fear-based rhetorics” around the assumed threats from “Bangladeshi infiltrators,” as well as a rebuff to the practice of “Operation Lotus” and greater political polarisation.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/4/commentary/2024-jharkhand-assembly-elections.html<br/>
