In Bihar politics, the Arun Kumar family in Bihar politics has gained major attention this election season. From Jehanabad, Arun Kumar’s family secured three tickets across NDA allies — JDU and HAM. His son Rituraj Kumar got the Ghosi seat from JDU, while his brother Anil Kumar and nephew Romit Kumar are contesting from HAM in Gaya district’s Tikari and Atri seats.
Arun Kumar earlier served as MP from JDU and RLSP, while Anil is a four-time MLA. This is Rituraj’s first election, marking a generational entry into state politics. The Arun Kumar family in Bihar politics reflects the ongoing competition between Bhumihar and Rajput communities for dominance. Despite internal family rifts, their collective presence has become a strong political force in Jehanabad and Magadh regions.
