Patna, 09 November (HS). By-elections are to be held on four assembly seats in Bihar on November 13. Also, general assembly elections will be held in 2025. In this regard, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has started implementing the preparations. Under this, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National President Jagat Prakash Nadda came to Patna on the occasion of Mahaprav Chhath of folk faith and spent one and a half hour on a steamer with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
JP Nadda has been associated with Patna for a long time but this is the first time when he traveled on a steamer with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during the Mahaparva Chhath and wished people a happy Chhath. Along with this, he also visited many leaders associated with BJP. Various discussions started in political circles regarding his arrival. After coming to Patna, JP Nadda also met the Governor and also visited the residence of LJP (Ram Vilas) supremo Chirag Paswan. After this, the discussion is intense whether Nadda had come to Patna for any special purpose. In such a situation, BJP sources are saying that the homework has started on who will contest and how many seats within the NDA in the 2025 assembly elections.
After reaching Patna last Thursday afternoon, Nadda took feedback from top party leaders about the by-elections being held in four assembly seats of Tarari, Ramgarh, Belaganj and Imamganj. Apart from former state president and health minister Mangal Pandey, Nadda held discussions with both the deputy chief ministers and state president Jaiswal at the government guest house. Along with this, BJP is also making every effort to unite the Hindu Boat Bank in Bihar.
It is noteworthy that in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, NDA candidates have lost on four seats in Shahabad region. In such a situation, snatching even a single seat from the Grand Alliance will be a big achievement for the candidates of BJP, JDU and Hindustani Awam Morcha. In the Lok Sabha elections-2024 in Arrah parliamentary constituency, the BJP candidate lost by 5,773 votes on Tarari assembly seat. At the same time, in the 2020 assembly elections, the BJP candidate came to the third position here. In such a situation, the fight for NDA on this seat is not easy. In the Ramgarh assembly constituency, which falls within the Buxar parliamentary seat, RJD had gained a lead of ten thousand votes over the BJP candidate in the Lok Sabha elections-2024. RJD has dominated this seat since 1985. The path is not easy for BJP in front of the popularity of RJD state president Jagdanand Singh and father-son duo Sudhakar Singh, who was recently elected MP from Buxar.
