Khagaria Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 40 Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituencies in Bihar state in eastern India.[1] This constituency came into existence in 1957 and from 1957 to 2019, the constituency has elected six parliamentarians from the Yadav caste as well as five parliamentarians from the Kushwaha caste. Both the Yadav and Kushwaha communities are preponderant in this constituency and dominate the political scenario.[2]

History[edit | edit source]

In this constituency a total of eleven candidates from Yadav and Koeri caste has been elected between 1957 and 2019 general elections. The Koeri candidates who became MPs from this constituency are Kameshwar Prasad Singh, Chandra Shekhar Prasad Verma, Satish Prasad Singh, Shakuni Choudhury and Renu Kushwaha.[2] In 2024 Indian general elections, the INDIA alliance put Sanjay Kushwaha against Rajesh Verma of National Democratic Alliance. Sanjay Kushwaha who belonged to Koeri caste was sought as candidate to fulfill region's caste dynamics. The CPI(M) candidate Sanjay Kumar was also picked up by alliance as his father Yogendra Singh Kushwaha has been an MLA from Khagaria Assembly constituency located within this Lok Sabha constituency and the voters were supposed to prefer local candidate against outsider.[3][4] Besides this, according to CPI(M)'s official social media handles, Kushwaha is a nephew of Indian independence activist Prabhu Narayan, who was martyred during 1942 Quit India movement, while trying to unfurl India's national flag, at the age of 21.[5][6]
