Nautan Assembly Seat is an important milestone in Bihar politics, which also gave a Chief Minister to the state and kept the hold of Congress strong for decades. There are many political stories related to this assembly seat of West Champaran district, which are still in discussion. Especially the series of victories of former Chief Minister Kedar Pandey and his wife Kamala Pandey makes this seat historic.

Geographical and political position of Nautan Assembly Seat

Nautan Assembly Seat is located in West Champaran district. This district is located near the Nepal border in the northern part of Bihar and is known for its historical and political importance. There are a total of 9 assembly seats in the district – which include Valmiki Nagar, Ramnagar (SC), Narkatiaganj, Bagaha, Lauriya, Chanpatia, Bettiah and Sikta apart from Nautan.

Electoral history of Nautan seat: 1951 till now

1951: Congress's Parvati Devi became the first MLA

The first elections on Nautan Assembly Seat were held in 1951, in which Congress's Parvati Devi won. She defeated independent candidate Dhusudan Prasad. However, after this the seat did not exist for the next few years.

1967: Entry of Kedar Pandey and Nautan becoming a Congress stronghold

This seat came into existence again in 1967. This time Congress leader Kedar Pandey won and made Nautan his political fort. He kept winning from here continuously till 1967, 1969, 1972 and 1977. In 1972, he became the Chief Minister of Bihar by winning from this seat.

Kedar Pandey: The journey from freedom fighter to Chief Minister

Kedar Pandey was born in 1920 in West Champaran. After taking a law degree from Banaras Hindu University, he joined the freedom struggle and also went to jail in the 1942 movement. In 1952, he started his political career by winning the election from Bagaha-cum-Ramnagar seat.

Journey from Nautan to becoming Chief Minister

By winning elections from Nautan continuously since 1967, he made this seat a stronghold of Congress. When he won the assembly elections in 1972, he was made the Chief Minister of Bihar. However, he remained in this post for only 15 months.

Hold remained even after the Emergency

Kedar Pandey retained his seat even in the Janata wave of 1977. He defeated Bhawani Prasad Jaiswal of Janata Party. This proved that his hold was not only because of the party, but also because of the trust of the people.

Wife Kamala Pandey took over after 1980

When Kedar Pandey became a minister in the central government by winning the Lok Sabha elections in 1980, the party fielded his wife Kamala Pandey from Nautan. Kamala Pandey won the seat twice in 1980 and 1985. The husband-wife duo thus won the seat for the Congress a total of six times.

Congress' decline and new political equations

Congress's defeat in 1990

Congress's grip weakened in the 1990 election. Ramakant Dwivedi of the Communist Party of India won the seat by defeating Birbal Prasad of the Janata Dal. Kamala Pandey slipped to the third position in this election and could not even save her deposit.

1995: Independent Satan Yadav wins

In this election, Satan Yadav won by a huge margin as an independent candidate. He defeated Baidyanath Prasad Mahto of the Samata Party by 26,952 votes.

Rise of Baidyanath Mahto and hat-trick victory

2000, 2005 (February and October): Baidyanath Mahto won three times

Baidyanath Prasad Mahto won from the Samata Party in 2000. After this, he also won both the assembly elections of 2005. Samata Party had merged with Janata Dal (United) during this time.

2009: Baidyanath Mahto became MP

In 2009, JDU gave him a Lok Sabha ticket from Valmiki Nagar and he became an MP. After this, by-elections were held in Nautan in which Narayan Prasad of BSP won.

Narayan Prasad's political journey

2010: Defeat from LJP

In 2010, Narayan Prasad contested from Lok Janshakti Party but lost. He was defeated by JDU's Manorama Prasad by 22,764 votes.

2015 and 2020: Won twice from BJP

In 2015, Narayan Prasad contested on a BJP ticket and defeated former MP Baidyanath Prasad Mahto. In 2020, he retained his seat by defeating Sheikh Mohammad Kamran of Congress by 25,896 votes.

Possibilities of 2025 elections on Nautan Assembly Seat

Assembly elections are going to be held in Bihar at the end of 2025. Nautan Assembly Seat is once again in the news. At present, Narayan Prasad of BJP is the MLA here. But Congress, RJD, JDU and other parties have become active regarding this seat.

Why is Nautan Assembly Seat special?

• This seat gave Bihar a Chief Minister.

• The husband-wife duo made Congress win 6 times.

• Congress's hold remained even after the Emergency.

• Many political equations changed on the seat since 1990.

Conclusion

Nautan Assembly Seat is an important chapter in Bihar politics. Here the pair of Kedar Pandey and Kamala Pandey gave victory to Congress for years. Then came Baidyanath Mahato, and now Narayan Prasad of BJP is handling the seat. In the 2025 elections, it will be interesting to see whether a new political chapter will be written here again, or the old trust will remain intact.

There is a heated discussion across the country about "One Nation One Election". An important seminar was organised by Kalyan Singh Sanatan Seva Samiti in the CMS auditorium in Gomtinagar, Lucknow on this subject. In this programme, experts enumerated the benefits of simultaneous elections and called it the need of the hour.

Simultaneous elections are the need of the hour: Acharya Mithilashanandini Sharan

The keynote speaker of the programme, Acharya Mithilashanandini Sharan, said that One Nation One Election is the need of the hour. He said that earlier in India, Lok Sabha and Assembly elections were held simultaneously. If this happens again, it will not only save the country's economy but will also improve the administrative system.

Some political parties are against it, but it is a matter of national unity: Hriday Narayan Dixit

Former Speaker of Uttar Pradesh Assembly Hriday Narayan Dixit linked this issue to national unity. He said that some political parties and individuals oppose it, but this idea is necessary for the democratic strength of India. Comparing the American and Indian constitutions, he said that the states in India have been formed by the nation, so it is natural to have one nation, one election.

One Nation One Election will lead to huge savings in government expenditure

Committee Chairman Prashant Bhatia said that if simultaneous elections are held in the country, it will lead to huge savings in government money. This money can then be invested in the development of education, health and infrastructure, which will directly benefit the general public.

Presence of special guests increased the importance of the program

This program was chaired by Justice Ranganath Pandey and the stage was conducted by Atmaprakash Mishra. Richa Mishra, Prof. Sanjay Gupta and many well-known experts and dignitaries were present on this occasion.

Conclusion

One Nation One Election is not only economically beneficial, but it also strengthens administrative efficiency and national unity. This discussion held in Lucknow made it clear that if all political parties think together in this direction, then the electoral process in India can be simplified and strengthened.

This time a very interesting contest is being seen in Poland Elections 2025. No candidate has got an absolute majority in the first phase of voting held on Sunday. According to the exit poll, Warsaw's liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski has got the highest number of votes i.e. 30.8%. At the same time, conservative historian Karo Nawrocki is estimated to get 29.1% votes.

Now all eyes are on June 1, 2025, when the second phase of Poland Elections 2025 will be voted. This round will be very tough and decisive, because any candidate needs more than 50% of the vote to become president.

What came out in the exit poll?

According to the exit poll data of Poland Elections 2025:

• Rafal Trzaskowski – 30.8% votes

• Caro Nawrocki – 29.1% votes

• Slawomir Mentzen (far-right candidate) – 15.4% votes

• Gregorz Braun (extremist candidate) – 6.3% votes

A total of 13 candidates were in the fray in this election, but now the contest is only between the top 2 candidates.

Trzaskowski vs Nawrocki: Battle of ideology

Rafal Trzaskowski is considered a strong supporter of the European Union and is in favor of the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

On the other hand, Karo Nawrocki is inclined towards conservative values and national security. Some controversies have also arisen against him, such as the case of taking a flat from an elderly person, which he later donated.

What does the law of Poland say?

Under Poland Elections 2025, it is mandatory for any candidate to get at least 50% of the votes to win the presidency. If no candidate crosses this limit, a second round is held between the top two candidates. This is the situation this time.

The decisive battle will be on June 1

Now that there is no clear winner in the first phase, the second phase of Poland Elections 2025 on June 1, 2025 will be decisive. Trzaskowski is getting support from liberals and LGBTQ supporters, while Nawrocki is popular among traditional and conservative voters.

Conclusion: There will be an interesting contest in Poland Elections 2025

While the first phase of Poland Elections 2025 was exciting, the second phase is going to be even more interesting. On one side there is a candidate who supports European values and human rights, on the other side there is a supporter of traditional policies. Now it remains to be seen who the people of Poland choose as their next president.

Bihar Assembly Election Opinion Poll

Bihar Assembly Election 2025 is slowly approaching and the political corridors have become more active. Meanwhile, the new Bihar Assembly Election Opinion Poll released by InkInsight Research Agency gives important indications about people's thinking and voting pattern. This survey shows that the women of the state still have faith in Nitish Kumar and NDA, while the youth is leaning towards Tejashwi Yadav.

NDA is still the first choice of women

The Bihar Election Opinion Poll conducted by InkInsight has revealed interesting facts about the trends of women. According to this survey:

• 60.4% women are in favor of voting for NDA.

• Only 28.4% women are willing to support the Grand Alliance.

• When women were asked for the post of Chief Minister, 45% said Nitish Kumar was their choice.

• While 31% women expressed their desire to see Tejashwi Yadav as CM.

These figures make it clear that women still have faith in Nitish Kumar's policies and leadership.

Youth's mind votes for NDA, but heart is with Tejashwi

This time an interesting gap is seen between vote and mind among young voters of 18 to 29 years:

• 44.6% youth are talking about voting for NDA.

• But 42% youth want to make Tejashwi Yadav the next Chief Minister.

• Only 39.5% youth are in favor of voting for the Grand Alliance.

It can be understood from this trend that the youth has faith in the election strategy and resources of NDA, but they are preferring Tejashwi Yadav for leadership.

Men's choice: Tejashwi Yadav

When male voters were asked about their choice of Chief Minister, then:

• 45.8% men said that they consider Tejashwi Yadav as the next Chief Minister.

• At the same time, 34% men preferred Nitish Kumar.

This leads to the conclusion that the support of the Grand Alliance and especially RJD has increased among male voters.

Difference in opinion of different age groups

This Bihar Assembly Election Opinion Poll also saw a big difference in the opinion of voters on the basis of age:

• Voters between 30–39 years are in favor of Tejashwi Yadav.

• Voters between 40–59 years prefer Nitish Kumar more.

• While people above 60 years want to see Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Minister again.

It is clear from this that Tejashwi Yadav is getting the support of young and senior voters, while the middle age group stands with Nitish Kumar.

Prashant Kishore, Chirag Paswan and other leaders

While Tejashwi and Nitish are at the top in the race for the post of Chief Minister, some other leaders also got limited support:

• Prashant Kishore was preferred by 2% voters for the post of CM.

• Chirag Paswan received 7% support.

• 1.61% voters want to see Samrat Chaudhary as the Chief Minister.

• While 13.39% people demanded a new face from BJP.

This shows that the public is also looking towards new leadership to some extent.

Jan Suraj does not get support from the youth

The expectations about Prashant Kishore's party Jan Suraj did not show any special effect in this opinion poll. According to the report:

• Only 0.76% youth expressed their desire to vote for Jan Suraj.

This means that Prashant Kishore's strategy will take time to gain ground.

Tejashwi Yadav is ahead, Nitish Kumar is second

When all sections were asked who they want to make the next Chief Minister, then:

• 39% people took the name of Tejashwi Yadav.

• 34% people said Nitish Kumar was their choice.

That is, Tejashwi Yadav's influence is increasing among the people of Bihar and he seems to be ahead of Nitish Kumar.

Tejashwi Yadav was also declared the most popular face in the previous C-Voter survey, which confirms the results of this new poll.

Bihar Assembly Election Opinion Poll 2025: Main contest

The Bihar Assembly elections 2025 are likely to be held in October–November. The Election Commission has not yet announced the dates, but political parties have started their preparations.

This time the election will be mainly between two major alliances:

• NDA – which includes parties like JDU, BJP and HAM.

• Mahagathbandhan – which includes RJD, Congress, Left parties and others.

A direct contest is being seen between Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav for the post of Chief Minister.

Conclusion: Will the opinion polls come true?

This Bihar Assembly Election Opinion Poll gives some important indications:

• Women still trust NDA and Nitish Kumar.

• Youth want Tejashwi from the heart but want to vote for NDA with their mind.

• Male voters prefer Tejashwi Yadav as CM.

• Middle-aged people are in support of Nitish Kumar, while the elderly and the youth are with Tejashwi.

• Other leaders like Chirag Paswan, Prashant Kishore are currently lagging behind in the race.

• Tejashwi Yadav has emerged as the most popular face for the post of Chief Minister.

Now the biggest question is whether these opinion polls will also be accurate in the actual election results, or will the people of Bihar give some new indication on the day of voting?

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, emphasizing the need for "One Nation One Election", called it an important step towards strengthening India's democracy. He participated in the dialogue program organized by the Joint Parliamentary Committee at a hotel on Mussoorie Road on Wednesday and welcomed all the members including the Chairman of the Committee, Shri PP Chaudhary.

One Country One Election: Initiative to strengthen democracy

Chief Minister Dhami said that the concept of 'One Country One Election' will not only save the resources of the country, but it will also speed up the process of administrative efficiency and policy making. Due to elections being held at different times, the code of conduct is implemented repeatedly in the states, which stalls development work and slows down the pace of governance.

He informed that in the last three years, the code of conduct was in force for a total of 175 days in Uttarakhand due to assembly, Lok Sabha and civic elections. During this period, the administrative machinery was unable to formulate policies and implement development plans. This period is very important for a state with limited resources.

Simultaneous elections are also beneficial from the financial point of view

The Chief Minister said that the entire expenditure of the assembly elections is borne by the state government, while the expenditure of the Lok Sabha elections is borne by the central government. If both the elections are held simultaneously, the financial burden will be equally divided between the two governments and a saving of 30 to 35 percent in the total expenditure is possible. This saving can be invested in important areas like health, education, roads, water, agriculture and women empowerment.

Geographical and seasonal conditions pose problems

Conducting elections in a hilly state like Uttarakhand is a big challenge. The Chief Minister said that between June and September, there is Chardham Yatra and rainy season in the state, which creates obstacles in election activities. Similarly, January to March is the last phase of the financial year and the time of board examinations, when there is already a load on administrative resources.

He also said that it is difficult to reach polling stations in remote areas, which makes the election process long and expensive. Due to frequent elections, people lose enthusiasm for voting and the voting percentage starts decreasing.

Conclusion: One Nation, One Election will give new strength to India

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami clarified that "One Country One Election" is not just an electoral reform, but a powerful means to make democracy more effective, inclusive, and accountable. This will not only increase economic and administrative efficiency, but voters will also be able to play a more active and aware role in the election process.

Crorepati MLA in Bihar Assembly - Data Analysis

The influence of money power is constantly increasing in Bihar politics. In the current assembly, 81% of the MLAs are crorepatis, while the number of women MLAs has remained just 11%. These figures not only show the financial condition of the public representatives, but also tell in which direction the politics of the state is going. In this episode of the 'Baat Chunav Ki' series, we are presenting you important figures related to crorepati MLAs and women representation in the assembly elections from 2005 to 2020.

🔷 2005: The first crorepati MLA in Bihar Assembly

In the assembly elections held in October 2005, a total of 243 seats were contested, out of which only 8 MLAs were crorepatis — that is, just 3%. At that time, the average assets of MLAs was Rs 27 lakh, in which JDU MLAs had the highest assets (Rs 34 lakh).

The richest MLA was JDU's Raju Kumar Singh (Sahebganj), whose total assets were more than Rs 6.11 crore. The top 10 richest MLAs included six from JDU, two from RJD, one each from BJP and LJP.

Talking about women, out of a total of 243 MLAs, only 35 women were elected — that is, only 14% women representation.

🔷 2010: Jump in number of crorepati MLAs

This time 48 MLAs in the assembly were crorepatis — 19% of the total. The average wealth of the winning candidates increased to Rs 81 lakh.

RJD MLAs had the highest average wealth (close to Rs 1 crore). Dr. Fayaz Ahmed from Bisfi in Madhubani was the richest MLA of that time, whose wealth was more than Rs 15 crore.

Women representation remained almost stable — a total of 34 women MLAs were elected, which was around 14%.

🔷 2015: Crorepati MLAs now in majority

In the elections held in 2015, a total of 160 MLAs became crorepatis, that is, 67%. This time, the average assets of the winning MLAs reached Rs 3.06 crore, which was four times more than in 2010.

Congress MLAs had the highest average assets (Rs 4.36 crore). The richest MLA was JDU's Poonam Devi Yadav (Khagaria), whose assets were more than Rs 41 crore.

However, the number of women MLAs dropped to 28 — only 12%.

🔷 2020: When crorepati MLAs became 81%

In the 2020 assembly elections, 194 out of 243 MLAs were elected crorepatis — that is, 81%. The average assets of MLAs now rose to Rs 4.32 crore.

RJD MLAs had the highest average assets (Rs 5.92 crore). The richest MLA was RJD's Anant Kumar Singh from Mokama, who declared assets of more than Rs 68 crore.

The situation of women became more worrying — out of a total of 370 women candidates, only 26 won. That is, the representation of women MLAs decreased to just 11%.

🔶 Conclusion: Has money power become the biggest criterion in Bihar politics?

The trend from 2005 to 2020 clearly indicates that the number of crorepati MLAs in the Bihar Assembly is constantly increasing. This not only shows the increasing role of money in politics, but also raises concern that women representation is constantly decreasing.

Before the 2025 elections, this question will arise again — will the common voter rise above money power and choose a real public servant? Or has property worth crores and political stature become the new identity of democracy?

State President Karan Mahara has given a big statement regarding the dispute and tussle currently going on inside Uttarakhand Congress. He has clearly said that this dispute is not just a normal disagreement arising in the organization, but is part of a deep and well-thought-out conspiracy. Karan Mahara says that some such elements are working behind these internal disputes going on in the Congress party, who are conspiring to weaken the party and harm it.

This dispute is affecting the functioning of the party at the organizational level, but Karan Mahara believes that the party is strong and this conspiracy will soon be exposed. He also said that there will be no impact on the work going on in the organization and Congress will continue to work for its strength.

Background of Uttarakhand Congress Internal Dispute

Differences and contradictions are being seen at various levels within the organization in Uttarakhand Congress for a long time. In recent years, many leaders and workers within the party have been in conflict due to their own selfish interests and different ideologies. This is the reason why a deep rift has developed within the party, which is becoming a threat to both election preparations and organizational strength.

According to Karan Mahara, amid these differences, there are some people who are not loyal to the basic ideology and organization of the Congress. They are constantly trying to hinder the functioning of the party. This is the reason why a conspiracy is being hatched inside the party, which aims to weaken the Congress.

Karan Mahara's Statement: Serious Work is Going On in the Organization

State President Karan Mahara has clarified that the party is continuously working at the organizational level. He said that the party is seriously considering the irregularities in the voter list and many other important issues. Its purpose is to remove any kind of deficiency during the elections and strengthen the party. Karan Mahara believes that all these efforts will soon bear fruit and the position of the Congress will improve.

He also informed that the party has run various training programmes, which will prepare the Congress workers in a better way. The aim of these trainings is to increase the strength of the organization and prepare the Congress to compete with a strong party like the BJP.

Fear of Conspiracy in the Party and Allegation of Creating Division

Karan Mahara clearly said that seeing the Congress getting stronger, some people are not able to accept it. This is the reason why a conspiracy is being hatched to create division within the party. He warned those who are doing such acts against the party that they will soon be exposed.

Without naming anyone, he said that the real face of all those who are upset with the strength of the Congress and are trying to mislead the party will be revealed to the public. Karan Mahara considered such activities as an obstacle in the progress of the Congress and said that the party will never back down from its ideology and working style.

Efforts Continue to Strengthen the Congress

Karan Mahara also clarified that the Congress is constantly working to strengthen the organization. He said that the party is strengthening its political agenda and organizational structure so that it can perform better in the upcoming elections.

He informed that the Congress party has organized training programs and workshops at various levels across the state. These programs are very necessary to enhance the capabilities of party workers, make them aware and strengthen the organization. Karan Mahara believes that these efforts will strengthen the Congress and it will be easier to compete with a party like BJP.

Karan Mahara's Tough Stand on Mayuk Mahar's Statements

The state Congress President refused to comment on the recent statements of Mayuk Mahar. Karan Mahara said that the leader who is calling himself separate from the Congress or saying from the open platform that he is not in the Congress, his statements have no meaning and neither is it necessary to react to them.

Political Impact of Uttarakhand Congress Internal Dispute

This internal dispute going on in Uttarakhand Congress can have a huge impact on the politics of the state. If the Congress is not able to resolve this dispute in time, then it will directly harm the electoral performance. Discontent and division within the party affect both the workers and the leaders, thereby weakening the organization.

Other political parties can take advantage of this situation. Therefore, it is important for the Congress to end this dispute and unite the organization. Karan Mahara's efforts are in this direction so that the party can become politically strong again.

Conclusion

Amidst the internal dispute of Uttarakhand Congress, the clear and strong statement of state president Karan Mahara shows that the party is fully prepared to overcome this crisis. While exposing the conspiracies going on inside the party, he also made it clear that the Congress will never deviate from its ideology and will continue to work to strengthen the organization.

In the times to come, it will be important to see how the Congress resolves its internal disputes and establishes the party strongly in the politics of the state again.

Tej Pratap Yadav in Bihar Election 2025

A major development has come to light in Bihar's most famous political family. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party. Tej Pratap Yadav, who has become a popular face on social media, is now politically isolated as well. In such a situation, all eyes are on his next move in the 2025 Bihar assembly elections.

Did not get favorite seat in 2020

In the 2020 elections, against the wishes of Tej Pratap Yadav, he got a ticket from Hasanpur assembly seat in Samastipur district. He wanted to contest from Mahua seat, but the party did not field him from there. Despite this, Tej Pratap won from Hasanpur seat and became MLA.

Tej Pratap Yadav got 80,991 votes in Hasanpur seat, while Janata Dal United (JDU)'s Raj Kumar Rai had to be content with 59,852 votes. In this election, Manish Kumar of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) got 8,797 votes, and Pappu Yadav's Jan Adhikar Party got 9,882 votes. That is, due to the division in the opposition, Tej Pratap won.

There was a tussle over Mahua seat

Even though Tej Pratap won from Hasanpur in 2020, his heart was set on the Mahua seat. This is the reason that even before the 2025 elections, he started a public relations campaign in Mahua and announced that he will contest from here this time.

Mahua assembly constituency comes in Vaishali district, from where Tejashwi Yadav is an MLA from Raghopur seat. At the same time, RJD's Mukesh Kumar Roshan is the current MLA from Mahua seat, who got 62,747 votes in 2020. At that time, JDU's Ashma Parveen got 48,977 votes, and LJP got 25,198 votes, which directly helped RJD.

Tej Pratap Yadav's political future in limbo

After Tej Pratap Yadav was expelled from the party, the biggest question now is that from which party and which seat will he contest in Bihar Election 2025? Will he become an independent candidate or form a new party?

If sources are to be believed, Tej Pratap has still made up his mind to contest from Mahua seat, but after his expulsion from RJD, the current MLA from there must have got relief. However, if Tej Pratap enters the fray, the contest will be very interesting.

Questions on Tejashwi Yadav's role

Tejashwi Yadav's role is also in discussion behind the expulsion of Tej Pratap Yadav from the party and family. Many political analysts believe that this decision of Lalu Yadav has been taken regarding the ongoing tussle within the family and the image of the party. Controversies in Tej Pratap's personal life, viral videos, and rhetoric on social media also created an atmosphere against him.

Will a new party be formed? Or will he fight as an independent?

Tej Pratap Yadav now has only two options – either he forms a new party or contests independently. It will not be easy to contest elections without organized support and a strong worker network.

However, Tej Pratap's popularity among the youth, strong hold on social media, and being the center of discussion in the media can be beneficial for him. If he adopts the right strategy in time, he can once again make his mark in politics in 2025.

🔍 Conclusion: Tej Pratap Yadav's challenging path

The picture that is emerging regarding Tej Pratap Yadav in Bihar Election 2025 is not easy for him. Amidst expulsion from the party, confusion over the seat, and family differences, everyone's eyes are on his next move. Will he be able to become an MLA again or will this election prove to be the last chapter of his political career? Only time will tell.

Ankita Bhandari Murder Case Decision : The time for justice has finally come in the much-discussed Ankita Bhandari murder case of Uttarakhand. In this case that shook the whole country, the Kotdwar court has sentenced all three accused to life imprisonment. But Ankita's parents are not satisfied with this decision. They say that the culprits should be hanged, so that a strong message is sent to the society.

Who was Ankita Bhandari?

A resident of Srinagar Garhwal in Uttarakhand, Ankita Bhandari was 19 years old and was working as a receptionist at Vanantara Resort under Rishikesh area. She was working along with her studies to fulfill her future dreams.

What happened when? Ankita Bhandari Murder Case Timeline

• 18 September 2022
  Ankita Bhandari suddenly goes missing.

• 19 September 2022
  Ankita's family lodged a missing person report with the police.

• 20 September 2022
  A case was registered with the Revenue Police, but no major action was taken.

• 19 December 2022
  A 500-page charge sheet was filed against the three accused under serious sections like murder, destruction of evidence, molestation and prostitution.

Ankita Bhandari Murder Case Decision: Court's decision

On 30 May 2025, the Kotdwar Court gave a historic verdict in this case and sentenced all three accused to life imprisonment. Along with this, a fine of ₹ 4 lakh has also been imposed on each accused.

The court convicted the accused under sections 302 (murder), 201 (concealing evidence), 354 (misbehavior with a woman) and Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act of the IPC.

Parents' displeasure: "We want death penalty"

After the court's decision, Ankita Bhandari's parents expressed displeasure. He says:

"This was not an ordinary murder, our daughter was brutally killed. Our struggle will continue until the culprits are hanged."

He said that now he will appeal in the Uttarakhand High Court so that the culprits can be hanged.

Who is Pulkit Arya? Why was there so much uproar?

The father of the accused Pulkit Arya has been a former minister of Uttarakhand. Due to this, the matter had become very politically sensitive. Pulkit was accused of pressuring Ankita to give 'special service' to the guests, which she refused and was murdered.

What was the police claim?

During the police investigation, it was found that on the night of September 18, Ankita was forcibly taken to the Cheela canal and was pushed and killed there. An attempt was made to show the incident as an accident, but the truth came out in the investigation.

Public outrage and movement on social media

After Ankita's murder, people demonstrated all over Uttarakhand and the country. #JusticeForAnkita kept trending on social media. Women, student organizations, social workers and common citizens took to the streets.

Public reaction to the verdict

The court's decision brought relief to some people, but a large section is dissatisfied with it. People are writing on social media:

• "There should be death penalty, not life imprisonment."

• "Strict punishment is necessary for the safety of daughters."

• "Delay in justice is also injustice, it took three years for the verdict to come."

Legal experts' opinion

Lawyers say that the court has given the verdict as per the legal process. But since the case falls in the category of rarest of rare, death penalty was also possible. If there is an appeal in the High Court, the sentence can also be increased.

What will happen next?

Now this case will go to the High Court. Ankita's family has made it clear that they will appeal against the court's decision and will not rest until the culprits are hanged.

Conclusion: Did they get justice?

However, in the last decade, it is the Manjhi family that has established a strong dominance.

Strong Hold of Manjhi Family

In both 2015 and 2020, former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi secured victory from the Imamganj Assembly Seat. Then, in 2024, after he was elected as Member of Parliament from Gaya, a by-election was held in the Imamganj constituency. His daughter-in-law, Deepa Manjhi, contested from the HAM Party and emerged victorious, completing a hat-trick for the Manjhi family.

UP Politics: Swatantra Dev Singh attacks Akhilesh Yadav, says - "Dream merchants are attacking the Election Commission"

The war of words has once again intensified in Uttar Pradesh politics. Jal Shakti Minister Swatantra Dev Singh has launched a scathing attack on Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav. He said that "dream merchants are constantly attacking the Election Commission to mislead the public."

Serious allegations leveled against Akhilesh Yadav

Swatantra Dev Singh said that Akhilesh Yadav is not the messiah of democracy, but the heir to the hooliganism of SP. In the frustration of defeat, he is now pointing fingers at the Election Commission. Singh alleged that Akhilesh is not worried about democracy, but about his chair.

He said that Akhilesh Yadav is questioning the commission to save his sinking boat, while the reality is that the public no longer trusts him.

Electoral violence and SP's history

The Jal Shakti Minister said that the history of SP is full of booth capturing, manipulation of voter list and electoral violence. He reminded that during the Mainpuri elections in the year 2009, the police was attacked in the presence of a big SP leader, but even an FIR was not registered.

Allegation of spreading lies on social media

Swatantra Dev Singh further said that Akhilesh Yadav and his party serve lies on social media. He said that their allegations were found baseless in the investigation of the Election Commission. Even the Supreme Court has reprimanded those who questioned the Commission.

"The public knows the truth" - Swatantra Dev Singh

Swatantra Dev Singh said that the public knows everything and will not be misled. The SP repeatedly questions the commission and the system to hide its failed governance. But the truth is that the people of Uttar Pradesh want development, not violence and hooliganism.

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association Election 2025: Will the great Aryaman Scindia take over?

There has been a stir in both the political and sports world regarding the elections of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA). At the center of discussions is the great Aryaman Scindia, son of Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is being considered the strongest contender for the association this time. The formal announcement of the election is going to be made on 2 September 2025 and it is being speculated that Aryaman is almost certain to be elected unopposed.

Deep relationship between Scindia family and MPCA

The relationship between Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and Scindia royal family is very old. Late Madhavrao Scindia was the President of MPCA for a long time, while Jyotiraditya Scindia has also held this post. If the great Aryaman is made the President, he will be the third member of the family after his father and grandfather to hold this prestigious post.

Starting with Gwalior Cricket Association

Currently the great Aryaman Scindia is the Vice President of Gwalior Cricket Association and is playing an active role in cricket administration. He has taken several new initiatives to promote cricket in the state. In recent years, he started the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL), which is organized on the lines of IPL. So far two seasons of MPL have been successfully completed.

All eyes on Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association election 2025

With the date of MPCA elections approaching, the eyes of cricket lovers and players are fixed on this election. So far no other candidate's name has come out, which has strengthened the claim of Mahan Aryaman. If this remains the case, then his election unopposed is considered certain.

Connection to religious and cultural tradition

The Scindia family has been deeply associated not only with politics and sports, but also with religious traditions. In 1732, Ranoji Scindia of the Scindia dynasty renovated the Mahakaleshwar temple and since then the Scindia family has been a part of the royal ride of Lord Mahakal. Taking this tradition forward, this year too Jyotiraditya Scindia and Mahan Aryaman Scindia will join the royal ride.

✅ Conclusion

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association election 2025 is being considered important from both cricket and political perspective. Jyotiraditya Scindia's son Mahan Aryaman Scindia's name is at the forefront and there is a strong possibility of him being elected unopposed. If this happens, the dominance of the Scindia family over cricket administration will be proved once again.

Vice President Election 2025: Why did Surdarshan Reddy become the opposition's choice against CP Radhakrishnan in Vice President Election?

The Vice President Election 2025 in India is heading towards an interesting contest. This time two big names are face to face in the fray - Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan and former Supreme Court judge B. Sudarshan Reddy.

The India Alliance has posed a new challenge to the BJP and NDA by declaring retired judge Surdarshan Reddy as its candidate. At the same time, the NDA has expressed confidence in CP Radhakrishnan as its candidate.

Why was Surdarshan Reddy chosen?

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that the name of Sudarshan Reddy was unanimously approved in the India Block meeting. The opposition wanted a non-political and prestigious name to come forward for this post, which would send a positive message among the public.

Also, the opposition is also looking at this election as "South vs South" as both the candidates belong to South India.

South vs South: Political equation

This time a unique picture is being seen in the election. NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan comes from Tamil Nadu, while India Block has fielded Justice Surdarshan Reddy from Andhra Pradesh.

That is, the contest is completely between the leaders and personalities of South India. This is the reason why it is being called a "South vs South" battle.

Surdarshan Reddy's career

• Born: Rangareddy district of Andhra Pradesh

• Profession: Lawyer, later Judge

• 1995: Appointed Judge in Andhra Pradesh High Court

• 2005: Became Chief Justice of Guwahati High Court

• 2007: Became Supreme Court Judge

• 2011: Retired

• After this, served as the first Lokayukta of Goa

His long experience in the judiciary makes him a strong candidate.

Opposition's strategy and BJP's difficulty

The opposition believes that by fielding Surdarshan Reddy in the Vice President Election, they will challenge the comfortable victory of BJP.
This decision can put South Indian parties like Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSRCP in a dilemma.

• TDP: N. Chandrababu Naidu's party has already announced to support the NDA candidate. But now rejecting the local candidate Surdarshan Reddy can become a cause of political pressure for them.

• DMK: BJP has already put pressure on DMK regarding Tamil pride, but DMK made it clear that it will decide from a political point of view, not on the basis of language.

Voting and election process

• Last date for nomination: 21 August 2025

• Last date for withdrawal of nomination: 25 August 2025

• Voting and result: On 9 September 2025

All the MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will vote in the election. There are a total of 782 voting members and at least 392 votes are required to win.

Who has the edge?

The NDA has 293 seats in the Lok Sabha and 133 seats in the Rajya Sabha.

That is, numerically, CP Radhakrishnan's victory is almost certain.

But if some MPs lean towards the opposition, then the contest can be interesting.

Significance of the election

Even though the BJP has an edge, Surdarshan Reddy Vice President Election has given the opposition a chance to show unity.

This election is not limited to a mere constitutional post, but the opposition is presenting it as an ideological struggle and a political message among the people.

Conclusion

Surdarshan Reddy Vice President Election 2025 is no longer just a battle for power, but has become an interesting battle of South vs South.

While the NDA is relying on its strong numbers, the opposition wants to gain a moral edge by presenting the non-political and respectable image of its candidate before the public.

On September 9, it will be decided who will be the next Vice President of the country - veteran judge Surdarshan Reddy or BJP-backed leader CP Radhakrishnan.

There has been a stir in Maharashtra politics regarding Vice President Election 2025. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has contacted big leaders to garner support for its NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has spoken to NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray.

BJP's Maharashtra identity bet

Fadnavis has appealed to the opposition leaders that since CP Radhakrishnan is a voter of Maharashtra, they should support the NDA candidate on the basis of 'Maharashtra identity'. This move of BJP can become a challenge for the opposition camp.

Sharad Pawar said in the conversation that he will have to support the opposition candidate, but Uddhav Thackeray has not directly denied and said that he will consider it.

Will Uddhav Thackeray give a shock to the opposition?

Shiv Sena (UBT) is currently a part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra and India Block at the Center. India Block has nominated former Supreme Court judge Justice B. Sudarshan Reddy in this election. Despite this, Uddhav Thackeray's statement of "think and tell" can come as a surprise for the opposition.

It is also worth noting that senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has already praised NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan.

Vice President election date and equation

Voting for Vice President Election 2025 will be held on September 9. All the MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha will vote in this election. Whips are not issued by the parties, so there is a possibility of cross voting.

Based on numerical equations, this time the victory of NDA candidate CP Radhakrishnan is considered almost certain. The ruling party has more MPs than the opposition, which strengthens their position.

Uttarkashi Disaster: Situation worsens in Syanachatti after Dharali | Uttarkashi Disaster Syanachatti after Dharali

Nature has once again wreaked havoc in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district. After the disaster in Dharali, the situation in Syanachatti area has now worsened. The sudden increase in the water level of the lake in Kupda Khad here has increased the concern of the people. The flow of Yamuna river has stopped due to the continuous arrival of debris and heavy stones in the lake, due to which water entered the houses and hotels in Syanachatti and an atmosphere of panic has been created.

Main Points – Uttarkashi Disaster Syanachatti after Dharali

• Situation worsened in Syanachatti after Dharali

• The bridge of Yamunotri Highway submerged due to rising water level of the lake

• More than 300 people were sent to safe places

• Administration, police and SDRF-NDRF teams engaged in relief work

• CM Dhami assured all possible help

Destruction increased due to rising water level

The water level of the lake increased significantly due to heavy debris coming in Syanachatti late in the evening. The administration is continuously trying to normalize the flow of Yamuna river, but relief work is being affected due to repeated debris. Due to the rising water level of the lake, the bridge of Yamunotri Highway was half submerged, due to which the relief and rescue team is facing difficulty in moving forward.

More than 300 people were sent to safe places

Seeing the situation getting serious, the administration and police took immediate action. All the hotels in Syanachatti, Kuthanaur and Kharari were evacuated. About 300 people were evacuated to safer places. At the same time, the local people have returned to their native villages like Syalna, Pujargaon, Pali and Bhansari.

Demand of local people – permanent solution necessary

Local residents say that despite the weather being clear, debris is continuously coming from Kupda Khad. This has stopped the flow of Yamuna river. People have demanded a permanent solution from the government so that Syana Chatti and surrounding areas can be saved from such frequent disasters.

CM Dhami's assurance – every possible help will be given

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami (CM Dhami) was apprised of the situation by BJP state media in-charge Manveer Singh Chauhan. During the meeting, CM Dhami assured that all possible help would be given to the disaster-affected families in the Yamuna valley of Uttarkashi.

He directed the officials to take all necessary steps to control the water level of the lake and provide immediate relief to the affected families. Also, ordered the departments to take action to stop the soil erosion caused by the Yamuna river.

The risk of disaster may increase further

According to experts, if the water level of the lake increases further, it may affect not only Syanachatti but also Ojri, Pali Gad, Kuthnaur, Kharari, Ganganani and Barkot. Due to this, the administration is on alert mode and relief and rescue work has been intensified.

Conclusion

Uttarkashi Disaster Syanachatti after Dharali once again proves that the threat of natural disasters always remains in hilly states like Uttarakhand. The deteriorating situation in Syanachatti after Dharali has posed a big challenge to both the local residents and the administration. However, relief work is going on from the government and the administration and the Chief Minister has also assured the affected families that no one will be left alone in crisis.

There has been a stir in Bihar politics regarding Tejashwi Yadav CM Face in Bihar Election 2025. Tejashwi Yadav's name is now constantly in discussion in the strategy of the opposition alliance INDIA Bloc Bihar Election. The question among the public is whether Tejashwi Yadav will be formally declared the face of the Chief Minister's post in the upcoming Bihar Assembly Election 2025?

Tejashwi Yadav's big statement in Ara rally

RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav's recent rally in Ara was in the headlines regarding Bihar CM Candidate. During Tejashwi Yadav's rally 'Voter Rights Yatra', he directly asked the public –

👉 "Do you want the original Chief Minister or a duplicate?"

Taking a dig at Nitish Kumar's government, Tejashwi said that this is a "fake government", which copies his work and suggestions. He appealed to the public that if education and employment are wanted, then the current government will have to be removed.

Akhilesh Yadav supported

In this rally, the statement of Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav Supports Tejashwi Yadav was also very important. Akhilesh Yadav declared Tejashwi as the direct candidate for the post of Chief Minister and said –

"Tejashwi ji has shown work in Bihar. He gave jobs and took the right decisions. There can be no better face than this."

Will Tejashwi Yadav be the CM face of INDIA Bloc?

Although there has been no official announcement regarding INDIA Bloc CM Candidate Bihar, Tejashwi's name is being said to be at the forefront in the meetings of RJD Congress Alliance Bihar 2025. It is also believed in the strategy of the opposition that Tejashwi can be the most popular choice to connect the youth.

Bihar Election Survey: Mood of the public

The popularity of Tejashwi Yadav is clearly visible in the latest Bihar Election Opinion Poll 2025 and survey report.

C-Voter Survey (Mint Report):

• Tejashwi's popularity was 40.6% in February 2025, which came down to 35.5% in April.

• Nitish Kumar's popularity fell from 18% in February to 15% in April.

• Prashant Kishor Popularity Bihar increased from 14.9% to 17.2%.

InkInsight Survey:

The youth of Bihar are showing inclination towards voting for the NDA, but they prefer to see Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Minister.

This makes it clear that Tejashwi has a strong hold in Bihar Youth Vote 2025.

Nitish Kumar vs Tejashwi Yadav

The direct contest between Nitish Kumar vs Tejashwi Yadav is becoming an election issue this time. Nitish Kumar's declining popularity and displeasure with the policies of the government have given the opposition an opportunity to bring Tejashwi Yadav to the center.

Next move in Bihar politics

Political pundits believe that if the headlines of RJD Tejashwi Yadav News and Bihar Election Latest News Today are to be considered, then the opposition has made it clear that their bet is on the young leader. Tejashwi Yadav's experience, hold among the youth and the support of opposition parties can make him a strong candidate in 2025.

Conclusion

The possibility of Tejashwi Yadav becoming the CM Face in Bihar Election 2025 is very strong. Although the final decision will depend on the leadership of INDIA Bloc, surveys, public meetings and opposition support are indicating that Tejashwi Yadav will give a tough challenge to Nitish Kumar this time.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are near and all the political parties have started working on their strategy. In this election environment, today we will talk about Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat, which is considered a very important seat in West Champaran district. The history of this seat has been very interesting. Many big leaders reached the assembly from here and at one time the leader who won from this seat also became the Chief Minister of Bihar.

Geography and Importance of Nautan Assembly Seat

There are a total of 9 assembly constituencies in West Champaran district – Valmiki Nagar, Ramnagar (SC), Narkatiaganj, Bagaha, Lauriya, Nautan, Chanpatia, Bettiah and Sikta. Out of these, the political importance of Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat has been different.
The first election was held here in 1951 and since then this seat has seen many ups and downs in Bihar politics.

1951: Congress's Parvati Devi wins

1967: Rise of Kedar Pandey

In the 1967 election, Kedar Pandey won from Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat and after this the seat became his stronghold. He registered continuous victories from 1967 to 1977. Due to this victory, he became the Chief Minister of Bihar in 1972.

1980: Kamla Pandey's era

After Kedar Pandey went to Lok Sabha, his wife Kamla Pandey won both the 1980 and 1985 elections on a Congress ticket. In this way, the husband and wife together won the Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat for the Congress a total of 6 times.

1990: Congress's downfall

In the 1990 elections, Congress slipped to the third position. This time CPI's Ramakant Dwivedi won the seat. Congress' Kamla Pandey could not even save her deposit.

1995 to 2009: Rise of new leaders

• Independent Satan Yadav won in 1995.

• From 2000 to 2005, Baidyanath Prasad Mahto (JDU) won here three times in a row.

• In 2015, he defeated JDU's Baidyanath Prasad Mahato.

• In 2020, he defeated Congress candidate Sheikh Mohammad Kamran by 25,896 votes.

At present, Narayan Prasad is the MLA of Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat.

Political equation of Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat

• Congress dominated from 1951 to 1985.

• After 1990, Congress never won this seat.

• After 2000, JDU and BJP were in the main contest here.

• At present, BJP's Narayan Prasad is in a strong position.

Conclusion

The history of Nautan Vidhan Sabha Election Seat shows that the equation of power here has been changing from time to time. Sometimes it was the stronghold of Congress, sometimes JDU and now BJP dominates. In the upcoming Bihar Election 2025, it will be interesting to see whether BJP maintains its dominance or the opposition creates a new equation.

Brahmapur Vidhan Sabha Election 2025 in Bihar is once again the center of political movements. All eyes are on the strategy of both BJP and RJD regarding Brahmapur seat. This area has not been easy for BJP for the last several decades and this is the reason why the contest between BJP vs RJD in Brahmapur 2025 is considered to be exciting.

Political history of Brahmapur assembly seat (Brahmapur Election History)

Brahmapur seat has always played an important role in Bihar politics.

• In 1990, BJP's Dr. Swaminath Tiwari gave hope to the party by winning here.

• After this, from 1995 to 2010, Ajit Chaudhary (RJD) won four consecutive elections and made a strong hold on this seat.

• In 2010, BJP's Dilmani Devi defeated Ajit Chaudhary and ended BJP's drought.

• In 2015, RJD gave ticket to Shambhunath Singh Yadav and he was successful in winning the election.

• In 2020, BJP gave this seat to ally VIP Party (Vikasheel Insaan Party), but their candidate stood third.

That is, it was clear from Brahmapur election results 2020 that this seat is not easy for BJP.

Caste equation on Brahmapur seat (Brahmapur Caste Equation 2025)

The election of Brahmapur assembly seat has always been influenced by caste equations. Yadav, Brahmin, Bhumihar, Rajput and extremely backward class voters play a decisive role here.

• The major reason for RJD stronghold in Brahmapur is the strong base of Yadav and Muslim voters.

• BJP definitely gets the support of Brahmins and some backward classes, but it proves difficult to convert it into victory.

BJP Strategy (BJP Strategy Brahmapur Seat)

In view of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, BJP has started preparing strategy at many levels regarding Brahmapur seat.

• The party recently conducted BJP internal survey Bihar, in which feedback was taken on candidate selection and local issues.

• The biggest challenge for BJP is to choose the local leadership and the right candidate.

• There is also a discussion that this time BJP can keep the seat in its own account instead of giving it to the ally.

• Former MLA Dr. Swaminath Tiwari has also admitted that the party faced defeat in the last elections due to the selection of candidates. This time the emphasis is on not repeating that mistake.

RJD's preparation (RJD Stronghold in Brahmapur)

RJD has been in a strong position on this seat.

• Ajit Chaudhary Brahmapur RJD's long tenure gave the party a permanent vote bank here.

• Since 2015, Shambhunath Singh Yadav Brahmapur's hold has also strengthened.

• RJD's strategy is clear - to strengthen the Yadav-Muslim equation further and take advantage of BJP's internal factionalism.

Local Issues (Local Issues in Brahmapur Election)

This time local issues in Brahmapur election will also affect the election atmosphere:

• Lack of education and health facilities in the area.

• Irrigation and market problems for farmers.

• Road and infrastructure development.

• Unemployment and migration of youth.

Both BJP and RJD will try to turn these issues in their favor.

Possible Candidates (Bihar Election Candidates 2025)

Candidate selection is the most important in Brahmapur Seat Election Strategy.

• BJP can bet on former MLA or new face.

• Shambhunath Singh Yadav can enter the fray again from RJD.

Caste equations, local issues and candidate selection—these three major factors will decide who will occupy the Brahmapur seat.

It is clear that the contest in Brahmapur Vidhan Sabha Election 2025 in Bihar will be tough between BJP and RJD and this seat will again make headlines in the state politics.

Bihar Election 2025: Battle of claims between Congress-RJD on Bihariganj assembly seat

As the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are approaching, the stir in seat sharing and alliance politics is intensifying. In this episode, a strong tussle is being seen between Congress and RJD on the Bihariganj Assembly Seat. The situation on this seat of the Grand Alliance is very complicated, as both the parties are considering it as their claim seat.

Congress vs RJD: Whose claim is stronger?

Congress's claim on Bihariganj seat (Bihariganj Seat Congress Claim) is based on the last assembly elections. Congress says that it contested from here last time, so the seat should go to its account. On the other hand, RJD claims (Bihariganj Seat RJD Claim) that its influence is much more at the local level and Congress does not have any strong face left here.

Subhashini Yadav, daughter of former Union Minister Sharad Yadav, who was a Congress candidate in the last election, is no longer active. At the same time, many local leaders associated with RJD are continuously active in the area, due to which RJD's side seems to be getting stronger.

The equation got complicated due to the change of side of big leaders

This time the election atmosphere has become even more complicated, because many big leaders have changed sides in recent years.

Dr. Renu Kushwaha (former minister, former LJP leader) has now joined RJD. She has previously been an MLA from Udakishunganj and Bihariganj seats and has also been a minister in the Nitish government.

Dr. Ravindra Charan Yadav, who was earlier in BJP, has now joined Congress. He has been an MLA from Udakishunganj seat many times and has also contested Lok Sabha and Assembly elections on BJP ticket.

The equations within the Mahagathbandhan are getting more complicated due to the coming and going of these leaders.

NDA vs Grand Alliance: Whose side is stronger?

The history of Bihariganj assembly seat shows that the first election was held here in 2010 and JDU won. Since then this seat has been in the account of JDU in the NDA alliance.

In 2015 also, JDU had given ticket to Niranjan Mehta here.

In the 2020 election, there was a direct contest between NDA vs Grand Alliance (NDA vs Mahagathbandhan Bihar Election). JDU's Niranjan Mehta defeated Congress candidate Subhashini and won for the second consecutive time.

That is, this stronghold of NDA is still strong, but the internal tussle between Congress and RJD can prove to be a big challenge for the Grand Alliance.

Bihariganj Election History

This seat formed after the 2009 delimitation is considered very important politically.

The first election was held in 2010, in which JDU won.

JDU maintained its hold continuously in 2015 and 2020 as well.

Congress and RJD have claimed it many times, but till now NDA has dominated this seat.

Conclusion

In Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, Bihariganj Vidhan Sabha Election 2025 is going to prove to be an important seat for both the Grand Alliance and NDA.

On the one hand, JDU is relying on its past performance and the strength of NDA.

At the same time, the seat-sharing battle between Congress and RJD in the Grand Alliance has made the equation complicated.

Overall, Bihariganj Election 2025 will witness not only NDA vs Grand Alliance but also the internal battle of Congress vs RJD this time.
