In view of the Bihar assembly elections, Prashant Kishore (PK), the head of the Jan Suraj Party, has given a big indication. By the way, he has not confirmed to contest elections. However, it has been announced that even if he comes to the electoral fray, he can contest from Karghar (Rohtas) assembly seat or from Raghopur (Vaishali) seat. PK chose these two seats because Karghar is his birthplace and Raghopur is his work place.

Actually, Raghopur is the seat of Tejashwi Yadav and is considered to be the stronghold of Lalu Prasad Yadav. From here, Lalu Yadav, then Rabri Devi and now Tejashwi Yadav have won. Prashant Kishore has already said that if he contests the election, then there is no point in fighting against Tejashwi Yadav, otherwise it is not meaningful to fight from another place.

Equation of Karghar assembly constituency
Karghar seat is Brahmin -dominated. The current Congress MLA (Santosh Mishra) here is also a Brahmin. Prashant Kishore was born in this field and he comes from the Brahmin community. The caste equation of Karghar seat is not limited to Brahmins only. Kurmi, Koiri and Scheduled Caste voters are also in decisive roles here. This step of PK can not only attract Brahmins, but also indicates that he also stands with other communities.

Election results of Karghar seat
Karghar Assembly came from the year 2010. In 2010, Ramdhani Singh of Janata Dal won this seat. After this, in 2015, Vasistha Singh of Janata Dal won the election from here. In the 2020 election, Congress’s Brahmin leader Santosh Kumar Mishra became an MLA from here.

Raghopur assembly seat equation
Raghopur was a Yadav dominated seat earlier and is still today. The history of this seat is that two Chief Ministers and one Deputy Chief Minister came from here. Interestingly, all three are from the same family, ie- Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi and his son Tejashwi Yadav. The Lalu family is dominating here in all other elections except the 2010 elections.

However, both Raghopur and Karghar seats are in possession of the Grand Alliance. Roghopur RJD is with Karghar Congress. In such a situation, the contest of Prashant Kishore contesting on any one of these seats can be tough.

Raghopur seat election results
Talking about the history from the year 1995 till now, Lalu Prasad Yadav won here. Then Rabri Devi was MLA from 2000 to 2010. In 2010, Satish Yadav of JDU won by defeating RJD for the first time. However, in the very next election 2015, son Tejashwi Yadav avenged the defeat and has been an MLA in this seat for 10 years.
