The BJP had won 12 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in the state in 2014, while the JMM secured two. Several top leaders including PM Modi and party president Amit Shah took part in BJP's poll campaign in Jharkhand. 

However, there were no prominent national level leaders from opposition parties who campaigned in the three seats for the election. Hindustani Awam Morcha chief Jiten Ram Manjhi, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren of the JMM addressed election meetings in the seats held by the BJP.
