Electoral History of Aurangabad Constituency in Bihar

One of the six assembly constituencies located in the district of the same name in Bihar, Aurangabad is currently held by Ramadhar Singh of the BJP who retained it in the last assembly elections by defeating the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) nominee Sunil Kumar Singh by an impressive margin of 6242 votes in a direct fight. In that election, while Ramadhar Singh, who has won the seat four times, polled 41176 votes, Sunil Kumar Singh, brother of Aurangabad BJP MP Sushil Kumar Singh, received 34934 votes and was followed by Kaushal Singh of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) who got 13012 votes. Irfan Ahamad of the CPI (Communist Party of India), Rakesh Kumar Singh alias Pappu Singh of the Congress forfeited their deposits.

Sunil Kumar Singh had left the JD (U) after being denied ticket by the JD(U) to contest the Rafiganj assembly constituency in 2010 and joined the RJD to contest the Aurangabad assembly seat. Sushil Kumar Singh had also switched his loyalty from the JD (U) to the BJP before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Sushil Singh, who won the Rafiganj assembly seat in 2000 on the ticket of the Samata Party, emerged victorious from the Aurangabada parliamentary seat in 2009 on the ticket of the BJP.

He was defeated in 2000 by Suresh Mehta of the RJD. He was forced to resign from the ministership in 2011 when a local court declared him an absconder.

Ram Naresh Singh, father of Sunil Kumar Singh, was elected from the Aurangabad seat twice. In 1977, Ram Naresh Singh, popularly known as Lutan Singh, claimed the seat for the Congress and again won it in the subsequent elections in 1980 as an independent candidate.

Aurangabad is one of the six assembly segments the combination of which goes on to create the parliamentary constituency of the same name currently held by Sushil Kumar Singh of the BJP who had won the seat in 2014 Lok Sabha elections by defeating Nikhil Kumar of the Congress by a margin of 66347 votes.
