He had been elected from the Madhubani constituency to the Bihar Legislative Assembly four times between 2000 and 2010. Mahato was associated with the [[Bhartiya Janata Party]] (BJP) and recognised as an influential leader of the Mithilanchal region of Bihar. In the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, he left the BJP and contested the elections of the Madhubani constituency as an independent candidate, as this constituency was allotted to [[Vikassheel Insaan Party]] in a seat sharing arrangement. He returned to the BJP in 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.etvbharat.com/hindi/bihar/state/patna/former-mla-ramdev-mahato-joined-bjp-in-patna/bh20220211134213901|title=पूर्व विधायक रामदेव महतो ने फिर से थामा बीजेपी का दामन, बोले- &#039;पार्टी के आदेशानुसार करूंगा काम&#039;|website=etv Bharat|date=11 February 2022 |accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=20 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230820181613/https://www.etvbharat.com/hindi/bihar/state/patna/former-mla-ramdev-mahato-joined-bjp-in-patna/bh20220211134213901|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/patna/story-former-mla-ramdev-mahto-returns-to-bjp-5794727.html|title=पूर्व विधायक रामदेव महतो की भाजपा में हुई वापसी|website=live Hindustan|accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=20 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230820181627/https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/patna/story-bjp-made-hari-sahni-the-leader-of-the-opposition-due-to-fear-of-nishad-reservation-sankalp-yatra-mukesh-sahni-8600339.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

{{Distinguish|Ramdeo Mahto}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ramdev Mahato&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an Indian politician and a former Member of Bihar Legislative Assembly from [[Madhubani Assembly constituency]]. He had been elected from Madhubani constituency to Bihar Legislative Assembly for four times between 2000 and 2010. Mahato was associated with [[Bhartiya Janata Party]] and is recognised as an influential leader of Mithilanchal region of Bihar. In 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, he left BJP and contested the elections from Madhubani constituency as an independent candidate, as this constituency was allotted to [[Vikassheel Insan Party]] in seat sharing arrangement; he, however, returned to BJP in 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.etvbharat.com/hindi/bihar/state/patna/former-mla-ramdev-mahato-joined-bjp-in-patna/bh20220211134213901|title=पूर्व विधायक रामदेव महतो ने फिर से थामा बीजेपी का दामन, बोले- &amp;#039;पार्टी के आदेशानुसार करूंगा काम&amp;#039;|website=etv Bharat|accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=20 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230820181613/https://www.etvbharat.com/hindi/bihar/state/patna/former-mla-ramdev-mahato-joined-bjp-in-patna/bh20220211134213901|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/patna/story-former-mla-ramdev-mahto-returns-to-bjp-5794727.html|title=पूर्व विधायक रामदेव महतो की भाजपा में हुई वापसी|website=live Hindustan|accessdate=20 August 2023|archive-date=20 August 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230820181627/https://www.livehindustan.com/bihar/patna/story-bjp-made-hari-sahni-the-leader-of-the-opposition-due-to-fear-of-nishad-reservation-sankalp-yatra-mukesh-sahni-8600339.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Political career==&lt;br /&gt;
Mahato won Assembly elections from Madhubani constituency in 2000 and in the year 2005 and 2010 as well. Reportedly, in 2005, elections were held twice due to lack of majority to any party or coalition, required to form government. He won both the elections held that year. In 2015, Mahato was defeated by [[Rashtriya Janata Dal]] candidate Samir Kumar Mahaseth, who later became a minister in Government of Bihar.
