In the Mokama elections 2025, there is a contest between Anant Singh of JDU and Veena Devi of RJD. The real fight is between Bahubali Anant Singh and Surajbhan Singh. Surajbhan has adopted the strategy of dividing the Bhumihar votes by joining hands with Anant’s opponent Sonu.
In the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, the seat of Mokama has once again turned into a political arena, where the competition is now not just between parties but about the legacy of two powerful strong leaders. On one hand, former MLA Anant Singh is in the electoral fray on the ticket of Janata Dal United (JDU), whom his supporters fondly call ‘Chhote Sarkar’, while on the other hand, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has fielded Veena Devi, wife of strongman leader Suraj Bhan Singh. Even though the contest in Mokama seems to be Anant Singh versus Veena Devi, the real battle is between Anant Singh and Surajbhan Singh. In the midst of this great fight, Surajbhan Singh has played such a ‘masterstroke’ which has taken the political temperature of Mokama to the seventh sky.
Burglary in the fort of ‘Chhote Sarkar’
According to recent information, Bahubali leader Surajbhan Singh reached the house of Sonu and Monu, staunch opponents of Anant Singh. Surajbhan Singh met Sonu, who was greeted warmly by Sonu. Suraj Bhan Singh’s visit to the house of his rival camp’s biggest enemy points towards a bigger political strategy. This meeting has taken place at a time when Anant Singh and Sonu have recently been released from jail in the Mokama firing case, while Monu is still in the custody of the police. Monu was shifted from Beur jail to Bhagalpur jail just a few days ago.
This step of Suraj Bhan Singh clearly shows that he is working on ‘house breaking’ strategy to break the fort of Anant Singh and wants to unite the disgruntled votes gathering against the ‘small government’.

Political mathematics of years old enmity and Bhumihar votes
The decisive factor in the electoral battle in Mokama is the Bhumihar voters, to which both the powerful leaders belong. Whichever side is more inclined in this decisive vote bank, it will win. The enmity between Anant Singh and Sonu is decades old, the echo of which has often been heard in criminal cases and firing incidents. A case was registered against Sonu-Monu gang in the fatal attack on Anant Singh in Nauranga Jalalpur village on January 22 this year.
Now Surajbhan Singh has joined hands with Sonu and tried to tap the anti-Anant Singh vote bank, which has traditionally been opposed to ‘small government’. Surajbhan Singh (who is banned from contesting elections due to criminal cases) is planning a big plan through this alliance to divide the Bhumihar voters of Mokama and break into Anant Singh’s stronghold.
The battle of Mokama is now a battle of ‘individual self-respect’
This meeting of Surajbhan Singh has taken the political stir in Mokama to its peak. In this direct clash of strongmen, Suraj Bhan Singh wants to make this election a battle of personal self-respect by taking along his opponent’s biggest opponent. While Anant Singh is trying to repeat the victory with the help of his old popularity and support of JDU, Suraj Bhan Singh is working on a strategy to unite the opposing camps and defeat them.
