JDU candidate from Mokama and former MLA Anant Singh has been arrested in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. Now Veena Devi, wife of RJD candidate and Bahubali leader Surajbhan Singh, has reacted to the arrest of Anant Singh. He said that this matter is between two candidates and he or his party has nothing to do with it.

Speaking to the media, Veena Devi said, “Look, the police officers will know what is happening and what not. We have no say on this. The incident has happened between two candidates, we have nothing to do with it. See, all that is a matter of the administration and the court, we have nothing to do with it. The Election Commission is keeping an eye on everything.” According to ANI, he said about his campaign, “It is going very well… This is Parashuram’s land, and she is the daughter-in-law of Parashuram’s land. The public sees everything, if anything happens, it will be an insult to Parashuram’s land.”

Anant Singh’s arrest

Patna Police on Saturday arrested JDU candidate and controversial former MLA Anant Kumar Singh in the murder case of Jan Suraj worker Dularchand Yadav. Patna SSP Karthikeya Sharma, while confirming the arrest, said that the police is continuously investigating this case. The arrest of Anant Singh has created a new stir in the politics of Mokama, especially when the atmosphere for the assembly elections was already tense.

Let us tell you that on October 30, there was a clash between two political groups during the election campaign in Mokama. Stone pelting and firing took place during the clash, in which 75-year-old Jan Suraj worker Dularchand Yadav was killed and several people were injured.

While on one hand there was talk of giving place to young leaders and new faces in the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, on the other hand many old and experienced leaders have become active again. This time 14 former MPs are contesting on tickets of different parties. This has made the entire election atmosphere more exciting. JDU has expressed maximum confidence of 5, RJD has 4, BJP and Jansuraj have 2 each, while AIMIM has expressed confidence in one former MP. There is discussion in the political circles that this time the parties have seen experience and mass base as the biggest capital.

BJP has again sent its two former MPs to the election battle. Ramkripal Yadav is in the fray from Danapur, who has previously been an MP from Patliputra Lok Sabha seat. The party hopes that his popularity will pave the way for victory in the assembly this time. On the other hand, Sunil Pintu has been made the candidate from Sitamarhi. He had earlier won on JDU ticket, but later joined BJP. Now the same seat has become a new test of his political future.

Experience is at the forefront of JDU’s strategy

This time, Nitish Kumar led JDU has expressed maximum trust in former MPs. For the party, this election is being considered an opportunity to strengthen the organization and expand its support base. The past of the candidates fielded from Jehanabad, Gopalpur, Karakat, Kadwa and Samastipur is full of strong political experience. Through these names, JDU wants to give the message that its politics is not based only on alliance, but on local public relations and trust.

RJD gave opportunity to former MPs

Rashtriya Janata Dal has also reiterated its trust in its old stalwarts. The candidates fielded from Jhajha, Mokama, Bihariganj and Dhamdaha have previously been in Parliament and have a strong hold among the public. The party leadership believes that the experience and local influence of these faces will provide stability to the organization. This time RJD’s strategy is clear: to pave the way to return to power with the help of tradition and popularity.

Different path of Jansuraj and AIMIM

Jansuraj Party, which is emerging with new energy in the politics of Bihar, has also placed bets on former MPs. Sarfaraz Alam has been made candidate from Araria and Dhirendra Agarwal from Gaya Town. The contest in Gaya has become interesting as there is a direct fight between BJP’s Prem Kumar and Jansuraj’s Aggarwal. AIMIM has given ticket to Monazir Hasan from Munger, who has previously been an MP there and has strong influence at the local level.

Old experience vs new enthusiasm

The main question this time in Bihar elections 2025 is whether the public will trust experience or give a chance to new faces. This time all the parties have prepared a mix of youth and veterans. Old MPs consider their experience as an asset, while new candidates are appealing to the public for change. Political analysts say that this time the people of Bihar will take their decision not just on promises but on the record of work.

Janata Dal United (JDU) has released its first candidate list for Bihar Assembly elections. Names of 57 candidates have been announced in this list. The special thing is that Chirag Paswan’s MP’s daughter has got the ticket from JDU. Komal Singh, daughter of MP Veena Yadav, has become the JDU candidate from Gaighat assembly seat. Let us tell you, Komal Singh’s father Dinesh Singh is associated with JDU.

Earlier it was discussed that Komal Singh was going to get ticket from Chirag Paswan’s party LJP. However, when she went to JDU, it was decided to make her the candidate from Gaighat.

The Election Commission has issued a notice on Thursday (August 14, 2025) to allegedly keep two voter ID cards to Dinesh Singh, MP of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and her husband of Janata Dal United from Vaishali in Bihar. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav raised this issue after which the Election Commission has come into action.

The official said, “The Election Registration Officer (ERO) of Muzaffarpur assembly constituency has sent a notice to the MP and her husband asking the Election Commission to reply on the issue of keeping two voter ID cards by August 16.”

‘I came to know through the press’

On the other hand, MP Veena Devi told reporters, “I don’t know how my name came in the voter list of Muzaffarpur assembly seat. I am only a registered voter of Sahebganj assembly seat. I came to know about it through the press.”

‘Tejashwi Yadav should say what he wants …’

He alleged that this discrepancy was caused by irregularities caused by the election officials. He said that he has submitted a form to remove his name from the Muzaffarpur voter list. Veena Devi said, “Tejashwi Yadav should say what he wants … he is in opposition, so he will say such things against the leaders of the ruling parties.”

Let us know that Tejashwi Yadav accused Veena Devi and Dinesh Singh of having two voter ID cards while sharing the screenshot allegedly taken from the draft voter list published in Bihar under a special intensive revision (SIR) in a post on social media platform X.

It was written on X, “She (Veena Devi) is a registered voter of the assembly seat under her Lok Sabha seat and is also a voter of Muzaffarpur assembly constituency under the same name. The name of her husband, Janata Dal United Legislative Council member Dinesh Singh is also registered in the life partner’s column.” Tejashwi Yadav alleged that her husband also has two EPIC cards for two different assembly seats.
