BJP has fielded Pramod Priyadarshi in Laukaha. JD(U) has nominated Lakshmeswar Rai to take on the challenge from the NDA candidate. BJP must be having a good smile to find the fragmented Left forces are forging electoral unity to make the upcoming electoral battle in the state a triangular affair. The saffron party may benefit from it as the united Left will only dent the support base of the grand alliance of RJD, JD(U) and Congress especially at the constituencites in Madhubani district.
Hari Prasad Sah is the sitting MLA of JD(U) representing this constituency in the assembly. Sah got 47,849 votes in the assembly elections of 2010 and defeated RJD's Chitranjan Prasad Yadav who bagged 30,283 votes.
