2015

RJD's Birendra Kumar Mahto defeated Ram Lakhan Singh of Bhartiya Janata Party by over 53,364votes.The reason of the big margin win was a simple caste and political equation. CPI member and BJP member both were from the same community so the vote bank get shared and BJP as well as CPI lost the vidhan sabha battle. RJD is in Mahagathbandhan(Congress, RJD,JDU) and muslim voters always leaned with the congress and RJD so the RJD(Rashtriya Janada Dal) won the seat. [9]
