After the oath taking ceremony, he said that he is committed to the development of his region and fulfilling the aspirations of the youth. By wearing Paag during the oath taking ceremony, the cultural identity of Mithila region once again came into limelight.

She was in the news during the elections because of Paag.

Paag, considered a symbol of respect and prestige in Mithila region, was an important part of their traditional attire. However, during the elections, a video of Maithili Thakur eating Makhana while wearing Paag had gone viral, on which a section of Maithili community had objected.

This had led to dissatisfaction regarding the cultural traditions of Pag and Mithila. Besides, the alleged derogatory comment about Paag by an MLA from Uttar Pradesh during his campaign had also increased the controversy.

In the background of these controversies, Maithili Thakur taking oath in traditional attire became even more important. Socio-cultural organizations say that Paag is not just a garment but a symbol of identity, respect and pride of Mithila, hence people take any controversy related to it emotionally.

Prediction: The results of Bihar assembly elections are going to come today. There are three such seats in Bihar on which many people’s eyes are fixed. This time at Alinagar, Maner and Mokama, the game is not only at the grassroots level but also of luck.

Veteran candidates are in the fray on all three seats and this contest is so complex that not only the political environment, planetary and numerological equations are also playing an important role.

BJP candidate Maithili Thakur from Alinagar seat, JDU candidate and strong leader Anant Singh from Mokama seat and RJD candidate Bhai Virendra from Maner have a strong hold. Let us do astrological analysis of all three seats.

BJP candidate from Alinagar Maithili Thakur

The elections of the year 2025 can prove beneficial for young candidates due to the combined influence of Saturn-Jupiter, especially for those candidates who are contesting elections for the first time. This time BJP has given ticket to Maithili Thakur from Alinagar of Darbhanga.

Maithili was born on 25 July 2000 in a village named Benipatti in Madhubani district of Bihar. As a famous singer, she has sung songs in different languages ​​of India. According to numerology his root number is 7.

What does Maithili Thakur’s astrological calculation say?

In terms of astrological calculations, Maithili has the special blessings of Mars and Mercury. While Mars reflects political conflict, fighting spirit and grassroots level action, Mercury emphasizes management, strategy and communication skills.

Today, on the day of election results, Mars is in an auspicious position, which can put pressure on the opposition candidates somewhere. Mercury is in a mixed position, which means that victory is not guaranteed, but a close contest may be seen.

What does numerology point to?

According to numerology, Maithili Thakur’s root number is 7, which comes under the influence of Ketu. Today’s date is 14 November 1+4= 5 and date total = 1+4+1+1+2+0+2+5 = 16 – 7

Number 5 enhances election strategy, media focus and public connections.

Whereas number 7 can bring sudden monetary gains and last minute decision results. Alinagar seat has been under the dominant influence of Saturn for a long time, which indicates heavy competition.

JDU candidate Anant Singh from Mokama seat

There is a contest between JDU candidate Anant Singh and RJD candidate Veena Devi from Mokama seat. The contest on this seat is interesting yet more uncertain. There is influence of Saturn on this seat, hence the final result can be interesting.

Anant Singh is influenced by Aries. Lord Mars which provides anger, strength, dominance, control and ability to take control. Whereas Leo is Sun dominant which represents public image, authority and dominance.

Today Mars is in a strong position, due to which a tough competition can be seen. Whereas due to Sun being mixed, the image may be affected or may have to face strong opposition.

RJD candidate from Maner seat Bhai Virendra

Brother Virendra is the RJD party candidate from Maner seat. Caste and emotional voting patterns have been seen in this seat for a long time. Where the dominance of Moon and Venus is more visible.

Brother Virendra’s name is a combination of Mercury, Mars, Sun and Moon, which helps in strengthening the grassroots connection and emotional appeal.

The election contest in Maner may be full of ups and downs, but for brother Virendra today the planets are in his favor. His chances of winning are quite high but a close contest may also be seen.

Amidst the Bihar Assembly elections (2025), BJP MLA from Bansdih (UP) Ketki Singh has given rise to a new controversy by throwing Paag in Darbhanga. NDA workers conference was organized in Alinagar, Darbhanga last Wednesday (October 22, 2025). MLA Ketki Singh had reached this occasion. He was welcomed from Paag of Mithila. During this program, Ketki Singh threw his bag in front of Maithili Thakur and other workers and people.

Ketki Singh said to the people, “When we came from Ballia, you people welcomed us with madness. What is this madness?” Mithila is honored by the voice of the people. Throwing away the paag, Ketaki Singh said, “No…this is not the honor of Mithila…” Pointing towards Maithili Thakur he said, “This is the honor of Mithila.”

…and people got angry with Ketki Singh

Anger spread against Ketki Singh among the workers and local people present on the spot after throwing Paag during the program. People say that Paag is a symbol of the identity and culture of Mithila. To insult it like this is to hurt the sentiments of the entire region.

Many prominent leaders of BJP were also present in the conference. Bihar government minister Hari Sahni, Darbhanga MP Gopal Ji Thakur, Darbhanga election in-charge Upendra Tiwari, BJP district president Vinay Paswan and many other senior leaders were there.
