Katihar, 09

Nov (HS): Voting will take place in six assembly constituencies of the Katihar

parliamentary constituency in Bihar's Seemanchal region on November 11. The NDA

is relying on women to win these seats in the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal

region.

Situated in

the foothills of the Kosi and Mahananda rivers, Katihar's land is extremely

fertile, but floods are also a common occurrence every year. Pranpur, a constituency

in this region, could set a precedent for other constituencies. In 2020, BJP's

Nisha Singh defeated Congress's Tauqeer Alam by a narrow margin. This time, the

BJP is relying on its strong organization, core vote bank, and the candidate's

personal influence, as well as its work for women, to retain its seat.

According to Neeraj Shekhar, Rajya Sabha MP from Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, women

are more likely to favor the NDA this time than in 2020. Neeraj Shekhar

explains this by saying, I have visited several constituencies in Magadh

and Shahabad, where the liquor ban and the recent Rs. 10,000 transfer to

accounts have shown a significant shift in women's support.

If BJP leader

Neeraj Shekhar's predictions prove true on November 11th, the NDA in Seemanchal

could gain overwhelming Muslim vote share of women. Neeraj Shekhar came to

campaign on Sunday in the Pranpur assembly seat, which falls under the Katihar

parliamentary constituency. This constituency has 47 percent Muslim voters.

It's worth noting that in 2024, Congress' Tariq Anwar won from Katihar by

defeating JDU's Dulal Chandra Goswami by 11,383 votes.

Neeraj Shekhar said that

in the Bihar assembly elections, he called on people to vote in large numbers

at a massive public meeting held in support of NDA candidate Nisha Singh at

Rosna Hat Maidan in the Pranpur assembly constituency on Sunday. The

enthusiasm, passion, and excitement of the crowd at this rally made it clear

that Nisha Singh was going to win a historic victory.
