India’s ruling party loses key state election amid protests 0 SHARES Share it! BJP leaders said Tuesday that the new citizenship law was not an issue in the Jharkhand election, but Congress party leader R.P.N. Singh said the results were a snub to Modi’s party, which won only 25 of 81 state legislature seats. The Congress party and its allies won 47 seats, ending the BJP’s five-year rule in the state. The BJP came to power in 2014, defeating the Congress party.
