Bihar Results: Ajeet Sharma, Father Of Actress Neha Sharma, Trails In Bhagalpur
As the counting is progressing in the Bhagalpur assembly constituency, located in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar, Ajeet Sharma, incumbent MLA and father of Neha Sharma is trailing. This key constituency has witnessed a competitive electoral history predominantly featuring the Indian National Congress (INC) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As per the latest numbers shared by Election Commission of India, BJP’s Rohit Pandey is leading with over 7,000 votes.
Historically, the seat was a Congress stronghold with leaders like Uday Shankar Singh winning multiple terms through the 1990s and early 2000s. The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) also held influence in earlier decades. However, shifts occurred in the 2010s as BJP emerged as a strong competitor.
In the 2020 assembly elections, Ajeet Sharma of the INC won the seat with 65,502 votes (40.52%), narrowly defeating BJP’s Rohit Pandey, who received 64,389 votes (39.83%), marking a close contest. This victory continued Congress’s hold but with a diminishing margin against the BJP surge.
Bhagalpur assembly seat is part of the Bhagalpur Lok Sabha constituency, currently held by Janata Dal (United) (JD(U))’s Ajay Kumar Mandal, who won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections decisively. He had defeated Ajeet Sharma then.
For the 2025 assembly election, key contestants include:
Rohit Pandey (BJP), seeking to capture the seat,
Ajeet Sharma (INC), aiming to retain it for Congress,
Abhay Kant Jha (Jan Suraaj Party), representing a regional alternative,
Several independent candidates adding competition.
The 2025 election results indicate a strong BJP challenge with Rohit Pandey leading in early trends, reflecting a potential shift in the constituency’s political landscape.
Bhagalpur assembly constituency has transitioned from a Congress bastion to a fiercely contested battleground with BJP rapidly gaining ground. The 2025 election was marked by a tight fight among key parties including BJP, Congress, and emerging regional forces, demonstrating the evolving political equations in Bihar.
As per the latest results trends, Bihar is all set for a Nitish Kumar led government again. NDA is having a mammoth majority in terms of the numbers.
