Why did Munger seat become more of a challenge?

JDU supremo nitish kumar still has the same hold on the OBC vote bank as before, the election of Munger lok sabha seat is its test. The answer to Nitish Kumar's popularity, especially among the Kurmi caste and extremely backward voters, will also be found in Munger. The truth is that not only the prestige of JDU veteran Rajiv Ranjan alias Lalan is at stake in Munger lok sabha seat, here the measure of popularity of bihar Chief minister nitish kumar is also going to be decided. After repeatedly going from here to there, Lalu Yadav has made a move to break the back of the JDU supremo's vote bank by fielding Anita Devi from RJD.

Lalu has played a trick to break into Nitish's vote bank. RJD candidate from Munger is Anita Devi Dhanuk. She is the wife of convicted criminal Ashok Mahato. Mahato belongs to the same Kurmi caste from which Nitish comes. Here RJD has played the trick of killing Dhanuk-Kurmi castes with one stone. Lalan Singh is a big Bhumihar leader of JDU and Nitish has developed his own support block of Bhumihars, backward people and extremely backward people in this area.

Anant Singh came out to strengthen Lalan Singh's hand! On the other hand, just before the elections in Munger, the release of bahubali Anant Singh from jail on parole is also being seen from the electoral perspective. His wife Neelam Devi is RJD mla from Mokama, but he has tried to strengthen JDU's hand by claiming NDA's victory. Nitish has personal political connection with Munger lok sabha seat. Currently, Barh and Mokama assembly constituencies, which fall under the jurisdiction of Munger lok sabha seat, are part of the old Barh lok sabha constituency, from where Nitish has been mp 5 times. Earlier, his Harnaut assembly constituency also belonged to Barh lok sabha seat, which is also his home constituency and he has also represented there.
