Mokama constituency result: JDU's ‘Chota Sarkar’ Anant Singh wins from jail; defeats RJD's Veena Devi by 28,206 votes

Mokama Assembly Election: Janata Dal (United) leader Anant Singh, who is in jail after his arrest in a murder case, has clinched a stunning victory in Mokama by an impressive margin of over 28,000 votes.

Mokama witnessed a high-stakes battle in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, with the Janata Dal (United) fielding strongman Anant Singh, while the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) nominated Veena Devi, wife of former MP and influential leader Surajbhan Singh. Meanwhile, the Jan Suraaj Party put forward Priyadarshi Piyush as its candidate.

Mokama, a part of the Munger Lok Sabha seat, went to the polls on 6 November. Singh won the seat by 28,206 votes, defeating RJD's Devi.

Mokama has long been known as a bastion of powerful and often controversial “strongmen” (bahubalis) in Bihar politics, most prominently Anant Kumar Singh, his brother Dilip Singh, and Surajbhan Singh.

The recent murder of Dularchand Yadav, a Jan Suraaj Party supporter, has once again thrust Mokama into the spotlight. Anant Kumar Singh was arrested on 2 November in connection with the murder of Dular Chand Yadav.

Yadav, a gangster-turned-politician, was earlier associated with the RJD. He was killed while campaigning in Mokama for Priyadarshi Piyush.

This year, the political contest in the Mokama Assembly constituency revolves around two dominant bahubalis, Anant Singh and Surajbhan Singh, whose influence continues to shape the region’s political landscape.
