But angry at not getting the ticket, Vikas Singh and retired DIG Ramnarayan Singh adopted a rebellious attitude and announced to enter the field. At the same time, RJD fielded Prem Shankar Prasad, but former chief Pradeep Kumar Yadav, who rebelled against the party, fielded a BSP ticket.

However, some experts believe that many rebels may eventually return to support a larger party. At present, the common voters are silent and it is too early to say which way the public will turn amidst the crowds that gather at the rallies. Right now the politics of Gopalganj is based on only one question, will the rebels spoil the game or make a new game.
