RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA----------------------------The contenders are playing openly in the field before getting the ticket. The day of notification of assembly elections in Bihar is coming closer, but the final distribution of seats has not been done at the level of both the alliances. This time, the parties included in both the alliances want their representation in the seven seats of Bhojpur. The day of notification of assembly elections is coming closer, but the final distribution of seats has not been done at the level of both the alliances. The form of the alliance has changed as compared to the last election. In the 2020 elections, Mukesh Sahni's party was in NDA and Chirag Paswan was out of NDA. This time Chirag is in NDA and Mukesh Sahni is in Mahagathbandhan. In such a situation, the parties included in both the alliances want their representation in the seven seats of Bhojpur. There may also be a change between the parties of both the alliances on some seats. In such a situation, the field is open for the contenders of all the parties in every area and they are also playing openly on this field. Parties are also promoting strong candidates behind the scenes, so that when the seat sharing is discussed, the matter can be turned in their favor. In the 2020 elections, the NDA had succeeded in only two out of the seven seats of the Ara parliamentary seat, Ara Sadar and Barhara.

The BJP was crowned with victory on both seats. JDU had fielded its candidates from three seats Sandesh, Jagdishpur and Agiaon reserved assembly constituencies and lost all three.

Apart from Barhara and Ara Sadar, the BJP had fielded its candidates from Tarari and Shahpur, but the party did not succeed from there. However, last year, the BJP won the Tarari by-election and increased the number of its MLAs in Bhojpur to three.

LJP also played an important role in the defeat of JDU in the last election. It is in the NDA this time and is staking its claim on at least one seat out of the seven seats in the district. Chirag Paswan has also held a public meeting in Ara to strengthen his claim. Now which seat will go to whose account and which alliance party will sacrifice for LJP, it is not decided yet. BJP district president Durga Raj says that they have MLAs in Barhara, Ara Sadar and Tarari, while Shahpur is the traditional seat of the party.

It will not be easy for INDIA (Mahagathbandhan) to satisfy all its parties in Bhojpur. In the 2020 elections, RJD had fielded its candidates from Sandesh, Shahpur, Jagdishpur and Barhara and won three.

 Ara Sadar, Agiaon and Tarari seats came in the share of CPI ML, in which it won two seats except Ara Sadar. Last year, Sudama Prasad, who was the MLA of CPI ML from Tarari, reached the Lok Sabha from Ara and in the by-election, the party lost the seat to BJP.

This time Congress is also making every effort to register its presence in Bhojpur. Rahul Gandhi is also coming to Ara for the Voter Rights Rally at the end of the month. At the same time, Mukesh Sahni's Vikasheel Insaan Party is also continuously organizing programs in the coastal areas of Son. In such a situation, it will not be easy for the Mahagathbandhan to satisfy the workers of its clan.
