Bihar Politics: Hacking into Kurmi-Dhanuk and Bhumihar vote bank, will PK spoil NDA's game? - ndas challenge kurmi dhanuk and bhumihar vote division in suryagarha

Updated: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 04:11 (IST) NDA’s problems may increase in Suryagarha assembly from Lakhisarai. Jan Suraj’s candidate from the Kurmi community and independent candidate Ravi Shankar Prasad Singh may make a dent in the vote bank of NDA. NDA is likely to suffer loss due to divisions in Kurmi, Dhanuk and Bhumihar vote banks, while RJD candidate Prem Sagar Chaudhary’s vote bank is likely to remain stable. Jan Suraj leader Prashant Kishore. Jagran Correspondent, Lakhisarai. Jan Suraj has fielded a candidate from the Kurmi community from the Suryagarha assembly constituency. These Kurmi-Koeri, Dhanuk and other backward classes are considered as the base vote bank of NDA. On the same basis, this time the NDA has also made the JDU district president of Lakhisarai Ramanand Mandal a candidate from the Suryagarha assembly constituency. Remove Ad Only Read News Ramanand Mandal also hails from Dhanuk community. At the same time, if we talk about the caste-based data of the Suryagarha assembly constituency, then there is a large population of Kurmi-Koeri and Dhanuk castes in this area. After this there is also a large population of Bhumihar class. This time also if we look at the caste comparison based on the 2020 election results then Amit Sagar who is from Kurmi community is the candidate of JSUPA and this time from this assembly constituency the candidate of JSUPA and is from Amarpur village in Mednichowki area. The Karmi-Dhanuk community has the highest population in this area. It is believed that whatever votes Amit Sagar brings, the NDA will suffer losses. On the other hand, the strongest face as an independent candidate is Ravi Shankar Prasad Singh alias Ashok Singh who hails from Salempur village in the Suryagarha Municipal Council area. This time he is also contesting the election and is considered a strong leader of the Bhumihar community. He received more than 44 thousand votes in the 2020 state elections. This way they will get the support of the Bhumihar community and it will also cause damage to the NDA. On the other hand, RJD candidate Prem Sagar Chaudhary hails from the Yadav community. There seems to be no change in their base vote bank this time either. In such a situation, the rift in NDA’s base vote bank, especially in Kurmi-Koeri, Dhanuk and Bhumihar communities, could prove costly for NDA this time.
