Begusarai, Cheria-Bariarpur, Bakhri Election Result 2025 LIVE: As Bihar heads into the 2025 Assembly elections, Begusarai district comprising the Begusarai, Cheria-Bariarpur, and Bakhri constituencies is witnessing intense political contests among the BJP, Congress, RJD, JD(U), and CPI. Known as the “industrial capital of Bihar,” Begusarai remains a crucial battleground where caste equations, industrial growth, and ideological loyalties intersect.

Begusarai has long been a political hotspot, historically dominated by the CPI before shifting towards the BJP in the 2010s. Veteran leader Bhola Singh remains an iconic name here, having won eight times under multiple party banners.

Begusarai’s 2025 Assembly elections will test shifting political loyalties in Bihar’s industrial heartland. While the BJP hopes to consolidate its urban and upper-caste base, the RJD and CPI are banking on rural and backward-caste voters. With a mix of ideology, caste, and development narratives at play, Begusarai, Cheria-Bariarpur, and Bakhri remain constituencies to watch closely on counting day.
