Maithili Thakur Election Results Live | Alinagar Election Results Live: The Alinagar Assembly seat in Bihar has become one of the most talked-about constituencies in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The BJP has surprised many by fielding popular folk singer Maithili Thakur as its candidate.
But the journey won’t be easy for her. Alinagar has long been considered a stronghold of the RJD, which has won here twice since the seat was formed in 2008. For the BJP, it’s a tough challenge to break that trend.
About Alinagar assembly seat
Alinagar is located in Darbhanga district and falls under the Darbhanga Lok Sabha constituency. It came into existence in 2008 after the Delimitation Commission’s recommendations and went to polls for the first time in 2010. The seat covers Alinagar, Tardih, Ghanshyampur blocks and Motipur panchayat.
The area is mainly rural and dominated by Brahmin, Yadav, and Muslim voters, who have a major influence on election outcomes. Although it’s just 38 km from Darbhanga and 145 km from Patna, Alinagar still faces challenges like poor infrastructure and limited public transport. The nearest railway station is Benipur, 10 km away, while towns like Madhubani, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, and Sitamarhi lie within an 80 km range.
Electoral history: RJD’s hold and NDA’s rise
Since its formation, Alinagar has witnessed three assembly elections. RJD leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui won the first two in 2010 and 2015. But in 2020, the trend shifted when Mishri Lal Yadav of the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), contesting under the NDA, defeated RJD’s Binod Mishra by 3,101 votes.
-Mishri Lal Yadav (VIP/NDA): 61,082 votes (38.62%)
-Binod Mishra (RJD): 57,981 votes (36.66%)
-Voter turnout: 57.4%
Other parties like the Jan Adhikar Party and LJP failed to make an impact.
2024 Lok Sabha results strengthen NDA’s hopes
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, BJP’s Gopal Jee Thakur led in the Alinagar segment by 9,842 votes against RJD’s Lalit Kumar Yadav. Though not a big margin, it gave the NDA a confidence boost ahead of the 2025 assembly polls.
Despite the BJP’s growing influence, the RJD continues to hold strong ground, backed by its loyal voter base. With both alliances preparing for a fierce face-off, Alinagar is expected to witness another closely fought and high-stakes battle in the upcoming 2025 elections.

Maithili Thakur’s remarks come on the heels of nine major exit polls predicting a decisive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Agencies including Chanakya Strategies, Dainik Bhaskar, DV Research, JVC, Matrize, P-Marq, People’s Insight, Peoples Pulse, and TIF Research have forecast an NDA seat tally between 130 and 167.
