The contest in Muzaffarpur has gained attention due to the BJP's surprising decision to replace its sitting MP Ajay Nishad (Who joined the Congress party after being denied a ticket) with Raj Bhushan Choudhari Nishad.
Five constituencies of Bihar will go to polls during the fifth phase of Lok Sabha polls on May 20: Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Muzaffarpur, Saran and Hajipur.
In Bihar s Muzaffarpur, known for its shahi litchi, the upcoming general election features an intriguing battle between two Nishads. The BJP s decision to replace its sitting MP, Ajay Nishad, with Raj Bhushan Choudhari Nishad, previously from the opposition, has added spice to the contest. Ajay, now with the Congress, is hoping to break his family s 28-year hold on the seat. The BJP, on the other hand, aims to secure the crucial Nishad votes, traditionally a VIP stronghold. With both alliances strategizing to expand their voter bases, the election outcome remains uncertain.
