<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Darbhanga (Bihar):</strong> The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released its second list for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, prominently featuring the name of popular folk singer Maithili Thakur. Maithili Thakur, who recently joined the BJP, has been nominated for the Alinagar seat in Darbhanga district.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alinagar Assembly Constituency: A New Electoral Field</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Alinagar Assembly Constituency came into existence after the 2008 delimitation. Previously, it was part of the Manigachhi Assembly Constituency, and elections have been held only three times. The 2025 elections will be the fourth time this seat has been contested. Previous candidates have demonstrated their influence in the Alinagar seat, and it remains to be seen what charisma the BJP&#8217;s new candidate will display this time.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abdul Bari Siddiqui&#8217;s Influence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Previously, the Alinagar assembly constituency was dominated by senior RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui. He won the seat twice in a row in 2010 and 2015. However, Abdul Bari Siddiqui has now become a member of the Bihar Legislative Council and has retired from electoral politics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the 2020 assembly elections, the RJD fielded Vinod Mishra from the Alinagar seat, denying Abdul Bari Siddiqui&#8217;s ticket, but this move failed. In the election, Mishri Lal Yadav of the VIP defeated Vinod Mishra of the RJD and captured the seat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Maithili Thakur: From Singer to Leader</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maithili Thakur was born on July 25, 2000, in Madhubani district, Bihar. After her family settled in Delhi, Maithili began her education and music journey. She had a keen interest in classical music since childhood, and gradually became a renowned singer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maithili participated in major reality shows like &#8216;Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs&#8217; and &#8216;Indian Idol Junior,&#8217; but made her mark as the first runner-up on &#8216;The Rising Star&#8217; in 2017. Subsequently, her bhajans and folk songs went viral on social media, and she quickly became a favorite with millions of followers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Her music reflects the sweetness and depth of folk tunes, and this is why her fans call her the &#8216;Junior Bihar Nightingale.&#8217; Maithili Thakur has received numerous honors for her contributions, including the status of &#8216;Brand Ambassador&#8217; from the Bihar government.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Maithili&#8217;s candidacy bring about change?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It will be interesting to see how Maithili Thakur&#8217;s music and popularity shape politics in the Alinagar assembly constituency. While his political journey may be new, his impressive social media presence and the support of his fans could make him a strong candidate in this election.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With this move, the BJP has signaled its confidence not only in traditional leaders but also in young and popular faces. Now, it will be the turn of the voters, who will decide in the 2025 assembly elections how successful this new face will be for the BJP in the Alinagar seat.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bihar Assembly Election 2025 : </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Following the seat-sharing agreement within the Bihar NDA, a wave of discontent has intensified among local MLAs. In particular, the displeasure of Gopal Mandal, a close confidante of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has become a topic of discussion. MLA Gopal Mandal, from Gopalpur in Bhagalpur district, arrived at the Chief Minister&#8217;s residence this morning and made strong statements demanding a ticket for his constituency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gopal Mandal stated that he had been standing outside the Chief Minister&#8217;s residence since 8:30 a.m. and would not leave until he received a ticket. He claimed that he was a strong leader and would return only after meeting the Chief Minister. According to him, his ticket was confirmed and he would not return without a symbol.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This incident occurred a few days after Gopal Mandal had made a statement regarding the party&#8217;s policies, stating that the chances of leadership emerging from the Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) had diminished. These comments sparked discontent within the party, and there was talk that another leader might be fielded for his seat.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bihar Assembly Election 2025 : </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Political activity has intensified regarding the Bihar Assembly elections. The NDA alliance is expected to announce seat-sharing today. According to sources, a consensus has been reached between the parties. The Bharatiya Janata Party&#8217;s Election Committee and Parliamentary Board are also scheduled to meet today to discuss candidate names. It is expected that the BJP will release its first list of candidates after this meeting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, the picture regarding seat-sharing within the Grand Alliance remains unclear. Rahul Gandhi will meet with RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav at his Delhi residence, 10 Rajaji Marg, at 10 a.m. today. The two leaders will discuss seat-sharing. Insiders say that consensus on some seats remains elusive, and efforts will be made to resolve them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has announced his intention to field candidates in 32 seats across 16 districts in Bihar. This move has further exacerbated the Grand Alliance&#8217;s difficulties, as there is a possibility of a dent in the Muslim vote bank.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the electoral picture in Bihar is gradually becoming clearer, many complications remain within the opposition camp. The political equations could take an interesting turn in the coming days.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>eVoting in Bihar:</strong> Bihar has taken a significant step in the election process by becoming the first state in the country to allow voting through a mobile app (eVoting SECBHR). This decision is being implemented in the urban body elections of Bihar, with the aim of providing convenience to voters who, for various reasons, may not be able to reach polling booths. The pilot project for this facility was launched on June 28, 2025, in six municipal councils of Patna, Rohtas, and East Champaran.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What is the purpose of e-voting?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The primary objective of this new e-voting system is to ensure greater participation in the election process, especially from individuals who cannot reach the polling station due to certain reasons. These reasons may include being elderly, having physical disabilities, or other personal issues that prevent them from going to the polling booth. This initiative aims to address and overcome these challenges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>What will be new in the voting process?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The e-voting process will place special emphasis on security and verification. Every vote will be secured using two main methods:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Face Verification</strong>: During voting, the voter’s face will be matched with their voter ID, ensuring that the correct person is casting the vote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cross-verification with Voter ID</strong>: Additionally, the voter’s ID will be cross-verified to ensure that no one is voting fraudulently.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Patna – The political heat surrounding the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections has intensified, and the NDA alliance is going all out in its efforts to return to power. This time, Chirag Paswan, leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), is seen playing a crucial role in the NDA’s strategy. Not only is Chirag trying to consolidate his traditional Paswan vote bank in favor of the NDA, but for the first time, he is also publicly campaigning in support of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NDA pins high hopes on the Paswan vote bank &#8211;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Bihar’s political landscape, the Paswan community is considered a large and organized vote bank, particularly influential within the Dalit section. Carrying forward the political legacy of his late father Ram Vilas Paswan, Chirag is now working to strengthen the NDA. In the 2020 assembly elections, LJP (Ram Vilas) had contested independently, posing a challenge to Nitish Kumar. However, the situation has changed drastically this time. Having joined the NDA, Chirag is now fully aligned with the BJP and JDU.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chirag seeking votes for Nitish Kumar for the first time</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This marks the first time in Chirag Paswan’s political journey that he is openly supporting Nitish Kumar on election platforms. In the previous election cycle, tensions between the two leaders were evident. But this time, under the NDA’s strategic planning and the BJP’s intervention, the two may share the same stage. This is expected to give the NDA a significant edge in terms of social alliances and caste dynamics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Political equations and potential impact &#8211;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The NDA believes that Chirag’s presence  will send a positive message to Paswan voters, potentially damaging the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). For Chirag too, this election presents a major opportunity to establish himself as a state-level leader. If he succeeds in mobilizing his community’s votes for the NDA, his future political stature could see a major boost.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Energy in campaign, but challenges remain</strong>&#8211;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chirag Paswan enjoys popularity among the youth and Dalit communities, but as a former critic of Nitish Kumar, convincing some of his supporters remains a challenge. He will need to demonstrate that even within the NDA, he can effectively safeguard the interests of his community.</p>
