While addressing rallies in East Champaran, Kishor criticized both the BJP and RJD for failing Bihar. He said Modi and Amit Shah have been in power for twenty years, yet Bihari youth are forced to migrate for jobs. “We don’t need trains and free data,” he said. “We need factories and work.”

Kishor added that Muslims had been voting for Lalu out of fear of Modi, but such politics had made them dependent. He urged them to fear only Allah and act for their own progress. On festival days, he pointed out, Bihar’s sons and daughters struggle for trains while promises remain unfulfilled.

This loss follows a similar setback for the NDA. Earlier, the nomination of LJP-R’s Seema Singh from Chhapra’s Madhaura constituency was rejected. Both major alliances have now lost one seat each before the polls began.

Shashi Bhushan Singh, an RJD leader, won the 2020 elections from Sugauli. He received 65,267 votes and defeated VIP’s Ramchandra Sahni by 3,447 votes. At that time, Mukesh Sahni’s VIP was part of the NDA. The present cancellation has changed the picture completely.

Now, both the NDA and the Grand Alliance lose seat in Bihar without a single vote cast. The contest for the remaining seats is expected to be much tougher. This shows how small technical errors can change political plans.
