The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 25 Dec 2019Jharkhand voter has sent a terse message to political parties: it’s the economy, stupid At the political level it has been a victory of alliance politics, with BJP paying the price for going solo and the JMM-Congress coalition reaping rich returns.

Local issues dominate here, and it so happens that many of the hardships being experienced in Jharkhand only echo what’s happening in other states – there is real economic distress. Once the opposition rides to power on the back of the resulting disaffection, it bears responsibility for offering real economic solutions. Where BJP has failed, JMM-Congress has to deliver.
