Jamshedpur East has been a BJP's stronghold since Bihar days and barring 2019, the party has never lost any election here since 1990 when it was part of Bihar. Former Jharkhand CM Raghubar Das won this seat five times, once in Bihar and four times since Jharkhand became a state, before losing it to Saryu Roy in 2019. Das is currently the governor of Odisha and BJP has fielded his daughter-in-law Purnima Das Sahu from his home turf.
