He said, after the meeting and further consultations with the newly elected MLAs, the observers apprised the party's national leadership of the details, It's for the first time, Jharkhand will get a non-tribal Chief Minister. The BJP itself had two tribal chief ministers in the past-Babulal M (once) and Arjun Munda (thrice).
Das won form Jamshedpur (East) assembly seat by defeating Anand Bihari Dubey of the Congress by 70,157 votes. What appears to have tilted the scales in favour of Das is the shocking loss of Arjun Munda in Kharsawan. Das is known to enjoy support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah.
