For the 2025 Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has once again placed its trust in Shreyasi Singh as its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidate, while the Mahagathbandhan has fielded RJD leader Mohammad Shamshad Alam. The Jan Suraaj Party, led by Prashant Kishor, has nominated Anil Prasad Sah, adding another layer to the triangular contest in a region known for its complex political and social dynamics.

Bihar Assembly Election 2025: Jamui Constituency

Jamui holds deep historical and cultural importance as part of the ancient Anga kingdom, frequently mentioned in the Mahabharata. It is associated with King Karna, who ruled Anga with its capital at Champa, near modern-day Jamui. The region also has religious significance, with links to both Jainism and Buddhism, as it is believed to have been visited by Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavira.

With both major alliances, the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, investing heavily in Jamui, the constituency is set to witness a high-stakes and closely fought battle this time.

Who Is Shreyasi Singh Of BJP? Education, Family Background And Political Career

Shreyasi Singh hails from a prominent political family. She is the daughter of former Union Minister Digvijay Singh, who served in the Chandra Shekhar-led government and represented both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Her mother, Putul Kumari, is also a former Member of Parliament.

Combining her strong political lineage with her acclaimed sporting background, Shreyasi is considered to have a natural advantage in the contest. However, the Mahagathbandhan is banking on Jamui’s sizable Muslim population and its traditional MY (Muslim-Yadav) vote base to shift the balance in its favour.

In the 2020 Assembly elections, Shreyasi Singh defeated RJD’s Vijay Prakash by a margin of 13,026 votes, polling 79,603 votes against Prakash’s 66,577. In 2015, Vijay Prakash had won the seat by defeating BJP’s Ajay Pratap by 8,249 votes, while in 2010, JD(U)’s Ajay Pratap had beaten Vijay Prakash by 24,467 votes.
