The 2025 election in Imamganj assembly seat of Gaya district is going to prove to be a struggle for relationship and development. The biggest question this time is the political legacy of the Manjhi family, ethnic equation and local development issues, this is the biggest question.
Bihar Chunav 2025: Imamganj assembly seat of Gaya district holds special significance in Bihar politics, where not only power but also a big game of social relationships in every election. In the 2024 by -election, Deepa Manjhi of Hindustani Awam Morcha defeated Roshan Manjhi of RJD by about six thousand votes amidst heavy competition, but the results of this election were made even more interesting by the triangular contest. Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraj Party’s Dr. Jitendra Paswan played the role of a third candidate, which brought the collision between two big parties to the streak of thorn.
Family background vs development challenge
The political influence of the Manjhi family on the Imamganj seat is still not reduced. Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has shown his strength by winning three consecutive times from here, and his daughter -in -law Deepa Manjhi maintained this legacy. On the other hand, lack of basic development and ground problems in Imamganj area creates deep questions among voters. Drinking water crisis, lack of health facilities, irrigation problems and lack of employment have become the reason for the main battle of this election.
Social equation game
This assembly constituency is filled with ethnic diversities, with Dalit voters about 38 percent, Muslims forms more than 17 percent, while OBCs and Backward Classes form about 40 percent of the population. The number of upper caste voters is around 7 percent. In the last election, competition was seen between the two major parties regarding the voting of Manjhi society. This time also this equation will play an important role.
In the 2025 election, Deepa Manjhi will face a hearty match again, but the question is with which strategy RJD and Jan Suraj will enter the party. Old candidates will get a chance or will new faces come out with changed equations? The war between development based election promises and ethnic identity will decide the direction of victory.
What is special in the eyes of voters now?
Voters are now eager to take a decision not only on the basis of ethnicity, but also on the progress of development and the performance of the government. This is the reason that this time the issue of development and mass media in Imamganj politics will be held at the Center. Local people say that the problem of irrigation with health and education in the area is the biggest issue. People say that schools and hospitals have been built but teachers do not teach in school and doctors do not remain in the hospital. People of the area are mainly dependent on farming and farming for livelihood, but still there is no comprehensive system of irrigation, for this people have to depend completely on rain.
