Satyendra Kumar is a candidate of the Akhil Bharatiya Desh Bhakt Morcha (ABDBM) for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections from Khagaria constituency as a general category candidate for seat number 165. Satyendra Kumar sought to provide an alternative to the dominant political parties controlling the area. Satyendra Kumar formulated his election campaign from a position of ‘working primarily on local issues and on the daily concerns of the constituents’ that were going to vote for him and wanted to develop a relationship with voters mainly as constituents at the grassroots level.
Satyendra Kumar’s Grassroots Approach Against Established Politics
While there is little verified information about Satyendra Kumar’s formal education, his direct involvement with grassroots politics and local city government demonstrates a participatory and experiential knowledge of community issues.
This informal experience is definitely recognized in local politics and represents a more fine-grained sensitivity to what issues are of actual concern to citizens. Satyendra Kumar’s engagement with social issues and grassroots city governance shows a willingness on his part to be the voice of the people, particularly in localization where most larger political parties tend to avoid. In the 2025 election, Satyendra Kumar attained 1,769 votes, or 1.8% of the total in Khagaria.
While small as a total of votes and ultimately not enough to win, it did show that there was a small group of followers of Satyendra Kumars’s program that could act as effective people leadership. Election results noted Indian National Congress candidate Chhatrapati Yadav garnered the seat with a solid 47,000 votes, indicative of the powerful hold traditional political parties retain within the constituency.
Constructing Satyendra Kumar’s Political Career via Community Engagement
Satyendra Kumar’s candidacy was the beginning of his official political career. Despite electoral loss, his role as an ABDBM candidate represents the significant increase of interest and prominence of local and marginal political parties within Bihar’s lively political context.
Such parties frequently play a role in creating a forum for new voices and marginal issues that pursue stronger engagement in larger more mainstream political parties. Believing ahead, Satyendra Kumar’s political career will increasingly involve solidifying his base and expanding the circles in Khagaria.
Although it is a vilified position, he is working on grassroots development and the local development issues, with the hope that he can expand the connections to build a larger base of support that would enhance his electability in the future. More broadly, Kumar’s journey reinforces the need for alternative political representation and the evolving nature of voting behavior in Bihar.
