]]> The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its first list of candidates for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. Popular folk singer Maithili Thakur is not on the list. Many expected her to contest from the Benipatti seat, but BJP chose Vinod Narayan Jha again. This ended all political guesses.

Maithili Thakur’s meetings with BJP leaders Vinod Tawde and Nityanand Rai earlier created strong buzz about her entry into politics. People thought she would get a BJP ticket because of her huge fan following. But the new list shows BJP has not decided to field her yet.

Supporters expressed surprise online. They believe Maithili could have helped the party in Mithilanchal, where she enjoys massive popularity. Still, BJP may include her later in another round of candidate announcements. For now, the spotlight stays on Vinod Narayan Jha as the BJP face from Benipatti.

]]> BJP may field folk singer Maithili Thakur from Alinagar instead of Benipatti. Though she wishes to contest from her home seat, Benipatti MLA Vinod Narayan Jha is a senior leader with a strong base. It will be tough for the BJP to deny him the ticket. Hence, there’s growing talk that the party might shift Maithili to Alinagar constituency.

Maithili, a popular singer from Mithila, has a deep connection to her region and a massive youth following. Her clean image and Brahmin background could help BJP attract upper-caste, OBC, and Dalit voters. Alinagar MLA Mishrilal Yadav, who won on Mukesh Sahni’s party ticket before rejoining BJP, may face ticket cancellation if Maithili is chosen.

BJP leaders believe Maithili Thakur’s popularity and credibility make her a strong face in Mithila politics.
