- Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly (2020–2022)

- Leader of the Opposition (2022–2024)

- Deputy Chief Minister (2024–present)

Lakhisarai Constituency: BJP’s Political Stronghold

In the last two Bihar Assembly elections, Vijay Kumar Sinha has enjoyed comfortable victories. In 2020, he secured 38.2 per cent of the votes in Lakhisarai, defeating the Congress’s Aman Raj. Sinha’s margin and popularity highlight his deep connect with voters, particularly as the area has a sizeable Bhumihar community, his own caste group, which is a strong BJP support base. In 2015, too, he retained the seat with a margin of over 6,500 votes, establishing his dominance in the region.

Bihar Election 2025: Lakhisarai Electoral Challenge

Despite his long dominance, the 2025 election presents a greater challenge for the Deputy Chief Minister. Sinha faces new opponents, including Congress candidate Amaresh Kumar, Jan Suraaj Party’s Suraj Kumar and Janshakti Janta Dal’s Sukhdev Yadav. While the BJP-led NDA is banking on its alliance with JDU, LJP (Ram Vilas), HAM and RLM, the Mahagathbandhan alliance has brought together RJD, Congress, Left parties and VIP.

Lakhisarai Constituency

The Lakhisarai Assembly constituency, numbered 168, remains one of the BJP’s most secure seats in Bihar. Located in a largely rural and agricultural district, Lakhisarai is also known for industries such as fertiliser, pesticide and rice mills. The Bhumihar community, which holds strong influence in the area, has been a traditional supporter of the BJP, further strengthening Sinha’s position.

With his long political journey, ministerial experience and continued dominance in Lakhisarai, Vijay Kumar Sinha remains one of the strongest contenders for the BJP in the 2025 Bihar Assembly Election.
