Workers ignored in Bihar assembly by-elections?

Kokila Chokkanathan

Candidates have been announced for all four seats for the bihar assembly by-elections. The announcement of the names of candidates on these four seats of Tarari, Ramgarh, Belaganj and Imamganj has once again raised a controversy over nepotism in Bihar. First of all, let us know who is accused of nepotism.

Tarari seat: vishal Prashant, son of bahubali former mla Sunil Pandey, will contest for the first time on a bjp ticket from this seat.

Imamganj seat: nda ally and Union minister Jitan ram Manjhi's daughter-in-law deepa Manjhi has entered. deepa is the wife of Santosh Suman, a minister in the bihar government.

Belaganj seat: Vishwanath Kumar Singh, son of RJD mp Surendra Yadav, is contesting on an RJD ticket.

Ramgarh seat: Ajit Singh, son of RJD state president Jagadanand Singh, is contesting from this seat. This seat has fallen vacant after his brother sudhakar Singh won the lok sabha, obviously his brother sudhakar Singh is a lok sabha mp from RJD. If you look at the list, importance has been given to the family and data-face from both the nda and the opposition. These four candidates are accused of nepotism. Questions are being raised that at the time of elections, leaders remember the workers. They expect the workers to gather a crowd, but when it comes to distributing tickets, why do they only remember the family members. RJD and nda leaders refuse to accept this nepotism, but the picture is clear.

On the other hand, there is about a year left for the bihar Assembly elections. In such a situation, the parties may try not to bet on their won seats. These data-faces have also been fielded keeping in mind the guarantee of victory. On one hand, RJD is unable to answer the issue of nepotism, while nda is also trying to save itself by targeting RJD.

nda, which has been questioning RJD on nepotism, was also seen defending itself against the allegations levelled against it. Jitan Manjhi himself posted on X in defence of the question of ticket to deepa Kumari, daughter-in-law of Jitan ram Manjhi, and wrote that you cannot accuse us of nepotism just by calling deepa Kumari Jitan ram Manjhi's daughter-in-law.
