Bihar braces for a pivotal moment in its political landscape as five Lok Sabha seats gear up for crucial elections (in the fourth phase) on Monday. With each seat—Begusarai, Ujiyarpur, Samastipur, Munger, and Darbhanga—holding immense importance in shaping the state's political landscape, all eyes have been glued on who will taste the success and who will face the brunt of the loss.
In Begusarai, Union Minister Giriraj Singh stands at the forefront, seeking reelection for a second consecutive term. His bid faces a formidable challenge from CPI's Awadhesh Rai, who has rallied support from Congress and RJD. The constituency witnessed a historic showdown in 2019 when Singh secured victory over former JNU students' union president Kanhaiya Kumar. However, with the CPI forging new alliances, the electoral dynamics have shifted, making this race one to watch closely.
Moving to Ujiyarpur, the electoral battleground features a fierce contest between Alok Kumar Mehta of RJD and Nityanand Rai of BJP. The constituency is poised for a showdown as both candidates vie for supremacy, each backed by their respective political alliances.
In Samastipur, the political legacy of candidates takes center stage as voters weigh their options. With candidates hailing from influential political families and representing diverse ideologies, the outcome of this contest will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for Bihar's political landscape.
Munger witnesses former JD(U) president Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan' defending his seat against RJD's Kumari Anita. The constituency is no stranger to intense political battles, and this election is no exception. With both candidates striving to secure victory, the race remains fiercely contested.
In Darbhanga, the electoral narrative is equally compelling as Gopal Jee Thakur of BJP faces off against Lalit Kumar Yadav of RJD. With the return of former Union minister Ali Ashraf Fatmi adding an additional layer of complexity to the race, voters are faced with a multitude of choices as they head to the polls.
As Bihar braces for these critical elections, the eyes of the nation are fixed on the state, awaiting the outcome that will shape its political trajectory for next five years.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar held a massive roadshow in Patna ahead of fourth phase Lok Sabha elections on Sunday evening. The PM and the Bihar CM campaigned for BJP candidate from Patna Sahib Lok Sabha seat Ravi Shankar Prasad. Both sides of the road where PM Modi's roadshow passed were jam-packed with BJP supporters chanting 'Modi-Modi' slogans. Deputy CM Samrat Choudhary also participated in the roadshow
