In the upcoming Bihar Elections, 18 candidates who missed out on becoming MPs are now trying their luck in Assembly polls. This key phrase—Bihar Elections—reflects how many leaders are determined to make a political comeback.
A total of 23 candidates who lost the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 have entered the state polls. Out of them, 18 are contesting directly, while five have fielded their family members. RJD has given tickets to 12 of its former Lok Sabha runners-up. The list includes Jaiprakash Narayan Yadav, Lalit Kumar Yadav, Kumar Sarvjeet, and several others.
From the JDU and BJP, six former candidates are again in the race. Chandeshwar Chandravanshi and Dulalchand Goswami represent JDU, while Ramkripal Yadav and Mithilesh Tiwari are contesting for BJP. Congress, CPI(ML), and CPI(M) have also nominated leaders who narrowly lost parliamentary seats. Even family members of MPs—Chetan Anand and Komal Singh—are entering the Assembly contest.
Their comeback bid shows the high political stakes and determination shaping the Bihar Elections this season.
