Electoral History of Mahnar Constituency in Bihar

  One of the eight assembly segments located in the Vaishali district of Bihar, Mahnar is currently held by Achutanand Singh of the BJP who won the seat in 2010 general assembly polls to the Bihar Legislative assembly by defeating his nearest rival and sitting Lok Janashakti Party (LJP) MLA Rama Kishore Singh by a margin of 2489 votes.

NDA poised for big win

Updated on : Oct-3,2015

  Ruling JD(U) has fielded Umesh Kushwaha who will take on Dr. Achyutanand from the BJP in this constituency.

  Raghupati Singh, a long-time former aide of Nitish Kumar, contested on a Congress ticket from Mahnar and lost in 2010 assembly poll.

  Raghupati Singh had been arrested and jailed with Nitish during the Emergency.

  He sums up five categories of voters against the chief minister and only one count for him.

  The anti-Lalu vote, traditional supporters of BJP (forward castes), the majority of Paswans, a section of Kushwahas, and Musahars who are under the influence of Jitan Ram Manjhi will vote for the NDA front.

  Though Nitish has done a lot of developmental work, those who will vote for him only because they are happy with his work in the last 10 years across the caste divide won’t be more than five per cent.

  Most people will vote based on caste, said Raghupati Singh.
