Sarfraz Alam is an Indian politician who represented the Araria seat of Bihar in the Indian Parliament as a candidate of Rashtriya Janata Dal from 2018 to 2019.
Personal life[edit]
Alam is the son of Mohammed Taslimuddin, who was a member of Rashtriya Janata Dal and an MP from the Araria seat. He has 7 children with his wife Begum Shania.[1]
Career[edit]
Alam had been elected to the Bihar Legislative Assembly (from Jokihat seat) thrice (2000, 2010, 2015) - first one as a candidate of Rashtriya Janata Dal, and the next two as a candidate of Janata Dal (United).[2] In January 2016, he was suspended by his party after a FIR was lodged against him for allegedly misbehaving with a couple in a train.[3]
In February 2018, Alam rejoined Rashtriya Janata Dal. He said that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had betrayed secular forces by breaking the Mahagathbandhan alliance and allying with Bharatiya Janata Party.[4] Subsequently, he was nominated by the party to contest the Parliamentary bypoll for the seat of Araria (vacated due to the death of sitting MP Mohammed Taslimuddin).[5] He won the election, held in March by a margin of 61 thousand votes.[6]
