AJSU President Sudesh Mahto was supposed to meet the BJP's state and central leadership, including working chief Amit Shah, in Delhi on Thursday to finalise the seat sharing and names of the candidates. While the state BJP leaders, including Chief Minister Raghubar Das, went to Delhi, Mahto stayed at home in Silli.The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the AJSU have been allies since the creation of Jharkhand in November 2000.In the 2014 Assembly polls, the two parties fought on 73 and eight seats, and won 37 and five seats respectively. Mahto lost the Assembly polls.In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP conceded the Giridih seat in favour of AJSU, which managed to win it. Buoyed by this win, AJSU started demanding 22 seats in the upcoming Assembly elections and has now brought down that number to 15 seats.Sources in AJSU say that the party is unhappy as the BJP wants two of its sitting Assembly seats in these elections.AJSU's Kamal Kishore Bhagat had won the Lohardagga Assembly constituency in 2014. He was disqualified from the Assembly after he was convicted in a criminal case and awarded seven years imprisonment. In the bypoll thereafter, Congress leader Sukhdeo Bhagat won the seat.
