Surendra Yadav, who shows propensity to use strong-arm tactics to trash his opponents, is the sitting Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA from Belaganj assembly constituency in the Gaya district of Bihar.
Representing the seat uninterruptedly since 1990 except for a brief period when he was elected to the 13th Lok Sabha in 1998, Surendra Yadav, a former RJD minister, retained the Belaganj seat in the last assembly elections to Bihar held in 2010 by defeating his nearest rival Mohammad Amzad of the Janata Dal (United) by a margin of 4638 votes. In that election while Surendra Yadav polled 53079 votes, the JD (U) nominee secured 48441 votes and was followed by Bablu Ravidas of the Shiv Sena who received 8942 votes.
Surendra Yadav, who came to the national limelight when snatched a copy of the Women Reservation Bill from the hands of the then home minister and Deputy PM L K Advani and tore it in the parliament, had both the elections to the Amour seat in 2005. It is worth mentioning that Bihar went to the assembly polls twice in 2005 because the earlier one held in February threw hung assembly necessitating the holding of the second assembly polls in the month of November of the same year.
Surendra Yadav first entered the Bihar legislative assembly in 1990 by winning the Belagan seat. He went on to win the seat in the next assembly elections held in 1995. He however resigned the seat when he got elected to the Lok Sabha in 1998 from the Jahanabad parliamentary seat which he lost in the next Lok Sabha polls in 1999.
Surendra Yadav again claimed the Belganj seat in 2000 when he trounced Krishan Kumar Singh of the BJP by a thumping majority of 22734 votes.

Jitan Ram Manjhi, who entered the fray on the ticket of the JD (U), was relegated to the third place.
Barachatti, Sherghati, Bodh Gaya, Gaya Town, Wazirganj and Guraru are the other six assembly constituencies falling under Gaya Lok Sabha seat reserved for candidates belonging to scheduled castes.
