Four reasons for Saryu's victory and Raghuvar's defeat: Sources say Raghuvar Das was convinced till the end that he would win the Jamshedpur East seat. Shortly after this, CM Raghuvar Das submitted his resignation to Governor Draupadi Murmu, acknowledging BJP's defeat in the assembly elections. He was the first non-tribal Chief Minister of Jharkhand, who completed a full 5-year term. However, he himself could not win this election. He had to face defeat from BJP's rebel Saryu Rai from Jamshedpur East seat by about 16 thousand votes.
