The RJD is striving to win Bihar s Pataliputra Lok Sabha constituency, a seat they ve never secured since its creation in 2008. Lalu Prasad faced a surprising defeat in 2009 by JD(U) s Ranjan Yadav. Ram Kripal Yadav, who switched to BJP, defeated Lalu s daughter Misa Bharti in 2014 and 2019. Despite three close defeats, Bharti is contesting again, facing criticism for being absent between elections. The BJP, confident with strong local support and national backing, is campaigning heavily.
