After voting in the Saran Lok Sabha constituency on May 20, all forces shifted to Maharajanj. Be it NDA or ‘India’. Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting on May 21 at Ajna village in Gorayakuthi, Siwan. After that the direction of Maharaj’s spirit changed – this saying
.
At the same time, pro-Indians assume that NDA candidate Janardan Singh Sigriwal stands to suffer a loss instead of a gain due to former MP Randhir Singh’s son joining the JDU. The equation explained that when Randhir was in the RJD, a large section of Yadavs and Muslims were his supporters. Once he left RJD, this vote shifted in favor of Congress. The BJP office and the Congress office are across the road in Mashrak. 76 year old Kashid Ali is here. He said – there is tough competition. The competition is not one-sided.
There is truth in Kashid Ali’s words that though nephew Randhir Singh has joined JDU, uncle Kedarnath Singh is still in RJD. Shubha Singh, wife of former Congress MLA Tarakshwar Singh, is also going from village to village seeking votes for Akash Kumar Singh. The joining of MLC Engineer Sachchidanand Rai and Satyam Dubey, son of Maharajganj MLA Vijayshankar Dubey, to BJP is a matter of relief for NDA. Women from all castes were seen mobilized in favor of the BJP in nearby villages, including Pacharaur, Bhagwatpur Mataraya.
“We don’t know who is running in the elections… Modi and Nitish are the leaders for us,” the women say. Let’s vote for him. Secret votes for NDA and loud votes for India. It is found in the general discussion of Maharaj. The secret votes are said to be women’s votes, while the loud votes are considered to be for Daabs, Muslims and Bhoomihars. There is a split in the voices of Visha, Kurmi and Kushwa.
Here, the reputation of Congress state president Akhilesh Singh is also at stake. He managed to win over Shailendra Pratap Singh, one of the influential local leaders, to his side. Akash Kumar also has the support of Jitendra Swamy, son of former MP Umshankar Singh.
Maharaj’s history was that there were MPs from only two castes. In the 18 elections held so far, members of parliament from the Rajput caste have been elected 14 times. whereas four times caste Bhomihar. The hostility of the local Congress leaders could be fatal for Akash Kumar Singh.
Vijayshankar Dubey is a Congress MLA from Maharaj, one of the six Maharaja assembly constituencies. He was not seen in the nomination nor in Akash Singh’s campaign. There is also a lack of enthusiasm among local Congress workers. Local RJD workers seemed more excited than Congress members. All in all, Maharajganj’s election became entangled in excitement, enthusiasm, resentment, infighting and class equations.
