Bihar Chunav 2025: In Bihar politics these days, political movement is showing fast. The biggest question in this episode is on the tongue of the people – will the land of Raghopur be able to witness the biggest political battle of Bihar this time? The reason is clear, Prashant Kishore (PK), the founder of the Jan Suraj Party, has announced that he will either contest the assembly elections from Kargahar or Raghopur … Now since Raghopur RJD (RJD) has been the traditional stronghold of Raghopur RJD and Tejashwi Yadav’s political work place, PK’s stake can make the challenge of Tejaswi directly and big.
Prashant Kishore’s bet
Raghopur is an important assembly constituency of Vaishali district. This seat has been recognized by the Lalu family from the beginning. Sometimes Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi contested from here and at present, Tejashwi Yadav has been an MLA from here. In such a situation, PK’s indication of contesting from Raghopur is not only increasing the concern of the RJD camp, but it can also come up as a new nectar in the politics of Bihar.
The game will be decided by ethnic equations
The Yadav and Muslim voters in Raghopur are around 40% and are called RJD’s core vote bank. But 15-20% Rajput and 25% EBC (Extremely Backward Class) voters can also prove to be decisive here. Talking about the year 2010, Rabri Devi was defeated by JDU candidate Satish Kumar on this seat and proved that the polarization game of non-Yadav voters can be reversed anytime. Now PK belongs to the Brahmin community and is making a strategy to connect non-passed voters through issues such as development and employment.
A look at the accounts of the previous elections:
Year 2005: Lalu Yadav defeated JDU’s Satish Kumar by nearly 22,000 votes.
The year 2010: Rabri Devi was defeated by Satish Kumar by around 12,000 votes.
Year 2015: Tejashwi Yadav defeated BJP’s Satish Rai by about 22,733 votes.
Year 2020: Tejashwi Yadav defeated BJP’s Satish Kumar by about 38,174 votes.
These figures clearly state that even though the contest is bent in favor of RJD, the difference has not always been much.
Impact on Bihar politics
If PK contests elections from Raghopur, then this match will not be limited to caste equations only, but issues of development, employment and youth will also be in the main discourse. This is the biggest reason that politics experts believe that this war can change the political picture of Bihar.
Big challenge for Tejashwi
The Chief Minister of the Grand Alliance will give Tejashwi Yadav an opportunity to prove his political hold in Raghopur as a face. At the same time, this electoral ground for PK can give him a strong identity as the third option in Bihar. Now the thing to see will be whether Prashant Kishore really challenges Tejashwi Yadav by contesting elections from Raghopur or handles the field from Karghar. But it is certain that the battle of Raghopur will definitely give a new turn to the politics of Bihar.
