Motihari Assembly Elections 2025: BJP’s Pramod Kumar has been the winner for three consecutive times, but the victory margin is decreasing. Will his fort remain safe this time too or will RJD’s equation surprise him?
Motihari Assembly Election 2025: Motihari Assembly seat (serial number 19) is considered very important in the politics of Bihar. It is a part of East Champaran district and the history here shows that this seat has been special for the ruling parties in every era. At present, BJP is winning here for three consecutive times and MLA Pramod Kumar has scored a hat-trick of victories. Now the big question is whether BJP will be able to save its fort in 2025 or will the opposition make a dent?

Caste Equation (Motihari Caste Equation 2025)
Brahmin, Bhumihar, Yadav, Kushwaha and Muslim voters play a decisive role in Motihari seat. BJP’s strong vote bank is among upper caste and urban voters, while RJD relies on the Yadav-Muslim (MY) equation. This is the reason why the contest in every election has been straight BJP versus RJD.
BJP MLA’s image and opposition’s challenge
Current MLA Pramod Kumar (BJP) has won three times consecutively. His image is that of an experienced leader. The total wealth of Pramod Kumar, who completed his education till graduation, is Rs 3.83 crore. He also has a loan of Rs 5 lakh and four criminal cases. His political hold makes him strong. Whereas RJD fields a new candidate every time but till now has failed to compete with BJP. If the opposition sets the right caste equations in 2025, the contest can become more interesting.
The biggest question of Motihari assembly elections 2025
Will Pramod Kumar create a new record by winning for the fourth time or will RJD be able to win the trust of the voters this time? The game of caste equation and vote share will decide who will return to Motihari seat.
