Bettiah. The election contest in Bettiah seat between the enthusiasts of the upcoming assembly elections seems to be very interesting this time. Traditionally, a new face entry has created a stir in political circles in the battle between two big parties. Sources reveal that Rohit Sikaria, husband of the Mayor of Bettiah Municipal Corporation, has announced to enter the election field as an independent candidate.
This announcement of Sikaria has given a new twist to electoral equations. Rohit Sikaria, who holds a strong hold at the local level, has already been recognized in many areas of the city as the Mayor’s husband. In addition, they have been active on various local issues for a long time, which is also being seen as a public leader.
According to political analysts, Rohit Sikaria’s fielding as an independent can become a matter of concern for traditional parties – especially NDA and Grand Alliance -. Sikaria is seen in a position to dent the traditional vote bank of both parties, which can lead to a big contest in Bettiah.
The contest on Bettiah seat is no longer limited to veteran leaders, but the presence of new and unexpected faces has made the election more interesting. In the coming days, the direction of election campaign and the trend of voters will decide whether Rohit will be able to write a new chapter in Bettiah’s politics.
