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Subhashini Yadav, daughter of former Union Minister Sharad Yadav, who was a Congress candidate in the last election, is no longer active.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.
