CHAIBASA – West Singhbhum’s electoral landscape prioritizes tribal identity politics while sidelining pressing local concerns.

The constituency battles have intensified across five key assembly segments.

Meanwhile, JMM’s Deepak Birua seeks a fourth term against BJP’s Balmuchu in Chaibasa.

However, voters express disappointment over candidates avoiding discussions about closed mines.

Furthermore, Chakradharpur witnesses a three-way contest with independent candidate Vijay Gagrai emerging strong.

In addition, JMM’s Niral Purti faces stiff competition from BJP veteran Badkunwar Gagarai in Majhgaon.

Moreover, Manoharpur’s fresh candidates show interest in addressing Naxalism and migration issues.

On the other hand, Jagannathpur’s contest centers around Congress incumbent Sinku and BJP’s Geeta Koda.

Meanwhile, local residents continue expressing frustration over unaddressed infrastructure problems.

Nevertheless, the drinking water crisis remains a major concern across constituencies.
