History

AJSU organized general strikes and campaigns to boycott the Lok Sabha elections in 1989. The formation of Jharkhand State is accredited to its organised and persistent demand for statehood. Today, AJSU contests elections under the leadership of Sudesh Mahto, a former deputy Chief Minister of the state.

In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, AJSU was allied with the Bharatiya Janata Party. Ahead of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election, 2005, AJSU broke with the BJP-led NDA and formed an alliance with Lok Janshakti Party.

Ahead of the 2014 Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election, AJSU again allied with the BJP-led NDA. As results announced, AJSU won five seats while BJP won 37 seats in the state assembly securing the majority. AJSU party president Sudesh Mahto lost from his constituency Silli after representing it for nearly 15 years.{{cite web |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/jharkhand-elections-sudesh-mahto-loses-from-silli/519503-3-233.html |title=Jharkhand elections: Sudesh Mahto loses from Silli - IBNLive |website=ibnlive.in.com |access-date=26 January 2022 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20141223093633/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/jharkhand-elections-sudesh-mahto-loses-from-silli/519503-3-233.html |archive-date=23 December 2014 |url-status=dead}}
