Once Tej Pratap’s stronghold was, now who will be claimed in 2025?:

There are some seats in Bihar politics, which are a story in itself. These are not just a place to win and lose, but from here the direction of the future of big leaders is determined. The Mahua assembly seat in Vaishali district is also similar to which is known for her deep association with the Lalu family.

The seat from where the journey of Tej Pratap started

This is the same seat which sent Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav to Patna Assembly for the first time in 2015. At that time, Tej Pratap had registered a stunning victory from here and his political career rose from here. This seat was considered a strong fort of RJD and Lalu family.

But the story changed in the 2020 election. Tej Pratap Yadav decided to leave Mahua seat and contest from Hasanpur. Then there was a question in the minds of the people that now what will happen to RJD on this seat?

When the loyal soldier handled the fort

After Tej Pratap’s departure, the party expressed confidence in a local and its loyal leader Mukesh Roshan. Mukesh Roshan maintained this trust and defeated JDU candidate in 2020 and put this seat in RJD. This made it clear that RJD’s grip on the seat is still very strong.

Now what will happen in 2025? The real screw is stuck here

Now that the discussion of the 2025 assembly elections is starting, this is the biggest question about Mahua – who will be the next contender for this seat?

1. The current MLA is on one side: Mukesh Roshan has proved his ability by winning the seat. He is the current MLA and is a loyal worker of the party, so his claim is considered to be the strongest.
2. Will Lalu family want a return? On the other hand, it is also a question whether the Lalu family will again submit its direct claim on this traditional seat? It may be that Tej Pratap Yadav or any other family member expresses his desire to contest from here in 2025.

The number of Yadav voters here is quite high, which is considered to be the traditional vote bank of RJD. In such a situation, this seat is also a ‘safe seat’ for the party.

This decision will not be easy for Tejashwi Yadav and big leaders of the party whether they re -trust a living loyal MLA or secure this seat back to the family. This political equation of Mahua is going to be even more interesting in the coming days, and the answer will only give time to come.
