bahubali and Munger Veena Devi, wife of former MLA Surajbhan Singh, has joined RJD. Surajbhan and his brother former MP Chandan Singh have joined RJD along with their supporters. There was a period in the history of Bihar when no railway contract was passed without Suraj Bhan’s signal. His identity was known from Patna to Gorakhpur.
Suraj Bhan had to stay out of electoral politics after being convicted in the Brij Bihari Prasad murder case. Then the command of politics went into the hands of his wife Veena Devi and brother Chandan Singh. Both became MPs and in time the Suraj Bhan factor started appearing again from Delhi to Mokama. And now Mokama is in the headlines again.
Political equation of Mokama seat
Mokama seat has always been influenced on the basis of caste and social equations. Here the number of Yadav, Bhumihar, Kushwaha and Muslim voters plays a decisive role. Anant Singh comes from Bhumihar community and has a good hold in this class. At the same time, RJD continued to get the traditional support of Yadav and Muslim voters. In such a situation, instead of being triangular, the competition between the two can now be straight up.
25 years ago, Surajbhan Singh had become MLA from this seat by defeating Anant Singh’s elder brother Dilip Singh and that election had changed the direction of politics of Mokama. Now the same scene seems to be happening once again. Anant Singh is known for his strong hold in Mokama area. While he is considered to have a strong hold on the politics of Mokama, Suraj Bhan also has his own hold on the upper caste votes. In such a situation, a strategy has been made to destroy the fort of Anant Singh by combining Yadav and Muslim votes.
