The NCP has a slight influence in the Kathiar district thanks to Bihar prominent former Congress leader Tariq Anwar who along with Sharad Pawar and P A Sangma split from the Congress over the origin of Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin and founded the NCP.

While his win in 1977 came as a Janata Party candidate, he won the 1990 and 1995 polls on the ticket of the Janata Dal which later disintegrated into several splinter groups. Mahendra Narayan Yadav was defeated by Binod Kumar Singh in 2000.

  The Congress had won the Pranpur assembly seat last time in 1985 when its candidate Mangan Insan emerged victorious by defeating Abdul Jalil who was in the fray as an Independent candidate.
