Rama Nishad won from the Aurai Assembly seat on a BJP ticket and later became a minister in the Nitish Kumar government. She was the first woman MLA from Muzaffarpur district to enter the cabinet. Her victory margin placed her among the top 10 MLAs in Bihar.

She has served as ward councillor, vice-president, and chairperson of Hajipur Municipal Council. She worked under the guidance of her father-in-law, former Union Minister Captain Jaynarayan Nishad. Her husband, Ajay Nishad, is a two-time MP.

In 2007 and 2012, she won the Hajipur Nagar Parishad elections with record votes. She also handled key responsibilities during several Lok Sabha elections, including 2009, 2014, and 2019. In 2024, when her husband joined Congress, she supported him and stayed active in the campaign.

Her career continues to inspire many women in Bihar.

Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav mocked him, asking why a healthy CM acts strange while reading a speech. Nitish, however, focused on his work. He said that before 2005, Bihar had no power, poor roads, and unsafe nights. Since his rule began, schools improved, roads grew better, and peace returned.

He also took a swipe at Lalu Prasad Yadav for promoting family politics. Nitish said he works for the people, not for family gains.

Rai reminded the party of his 2020 victory by 48,000 votes, calling it one of Bihar’s largest margins. He claimed to have developed Aurai through roads, bridges, and electrification projects. Despite his service, his ticket was canceled, which he called unfair. BJP workers too are said to be upset over the inclusion of “opportunistic elements.”

Rai, a BJP leader since 2010, was a minister in the Nitish Kumar government. The controversy has stirred dissent within the party ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, urging BJP leadership to rethink its decision.

A two-time MP from Muzaffarpur (2014, 2019), Nishad had faced defeat by 2.34 lakh votes to BJP’s Rajbhushan Chaudhary Nishad, who later became a Minister of State in the Modi cabinet. Nishad will rejoin the BJP at the Patna BJP office in the presence of Dilip Jaiswal, and his wife Rama Nishad will also join the party.

Coming from a strong political background, Ajay’s father, Jai Narayan Prasad Nishad, served as MP and Union Minister. There is speculation that the BJP may field either Ajay or his wife in the upcoming state polls. His return strengthens the BJP’s strategy in Muzaffarpur ahead of 2025.
