In Bihar, politics is seen taking new turns. At one time, Bahubali leaders used to be out in Bihar politics, but with time both their effect and dominance were reduced. The musclemen gave a new edge to their politics by creating political chemistry with criminals, but this time they are seen out of the election scene. Neither their forts are looking safe nor their candidature looks strong.
Even though in the sixties, Bahubal was used in Bihar politics, then the Bahubalis started stepping into politics, then the process started. Bahubali is considered to be the peak of Bahubali in Bihar politics from nineties to 2010. This is a special time when the trend of familyism increased among Bahubali leaders. With the change of time, the politics of musclemen also started changing.
From Anand Mohan to Ananth Singh, Shahabuddin, Rajballabh Yadav, Prabhanath Singh, Rama Singh, Munna Shukla, Sunil Pandey and Pappu Yadav in Bihar, there was political dominance in the politics of Bahubalis. When he tightened the legal grip and went to jail, he handed over his political legacy to his family, but Bahubali is seen out of the political discussions of this time.
Who will contest Anand Mohan’s son?
Bahubali leader and former MP Anand Mohan’s wife Lovely Anand is an MP from JDU, but his son Chetan Anand became an MLA from RJD in 2020. In this way, Anand Mohan’s family is definitely in JDU, but is not in political discussion. Nitish Kumar is also refraining from sharing a political platform with Anand Mohan, as there is a danger of political loss from his image of Bahubali.

The way Anand Mohan’s political power was in the eighties and nineties, it has now faded. In the vicinity of Shivhar, Anand Mohan was considered a strong hold among the Rajput community, with the help of which he was successful in maintaining his political supremacy. In the political mood of Tirhut Division, Anand Mohan used to decide, but now the situation has changed. Anand Mohan was sentenced to life imprisonment, who has come out of jail after being waived.
Anand Mohan’s wife has definitely become a Lok Sabha MP from JDU, but her son’s boat is stuck in the political middle. JDU has not given any tickets for the ticket yet. Being an MLA, Anand Mohan’s son Chetan can definitely get a ticket. But it is not easy for Anand Mohan to contest elections as before.
What will happen to Anant Singh’s wife?
In the Mokama region of Bihar, Bahubali used to speak Anant Singh at one time. His dominance was completely maintained not only in Mokama region but in Munger district. Anant Singh’s process of coming in and out of jail continues continuously. Due to the punishment from the court, he has already lost his legislature and his political legacy is handling his wife Neelam Devi. Bahubali leader Anand Singh has been an MLA 4 times so far. Anant Singh has won elections twice on JDU ticket, then he managed to win the election once, but now he is out of the election scene.
Anant Singh himself became an MLA from Mokasa before RJD in 2020, separating from JDU and when he was sentenced, he managed to get his wife Neelam Devi an MLA. Just before the 2024 election, Anant Singh’s heart was pierced for JDU and played an important role in winning Lalan Singh. Only after this, Neelam Devi is seen standing in the JDU camp, changing the political maneuver, but Nitish Kumar will make candidates in the election or not, it is not confirmed.

What will happen to Shahabuddin’s legacy?
In the era of Lalu Yadav, Bahubali Shahabuddin’s political tuttar used to speak in Bihar, but two decades ago, his opposite count started with the change of power. Shahabuddin was first punished and then died during the Korona period while in jail. Shahabuddin’s legacy was first handled by his wife Hina Shahab, but could not win the election.
Hina Shahab, leaving RJD, contested the independent Lok Sabha elections in 2024, even after that the taste of victory could not be tasted. Shahabuddin’s political dominance is completely weak in Siwan area. Shahabuddin’s wife Hina Shahab and her son Osama Shahab joined the RJD after the general election, but both the seat and ticket in the 2025 assembly elections are not yet confirmed.
However, Hina Shahab is preparing to contest her son Osama from Raghunathpur seat, but from there, Harishankar Yadav, who became an MLA from RJD. In such a situation, the screw can be stuck with the seat, because it will not be easy for RJD to cut the ticket of Harishankar Yadav.
Surajbhan Singh’s dominance reduced …
Surjbhan Singh used to dominate in Bihar’s Bahubalis. He has been an MLA from Mokama and his wife from Munger has been an MP. Surajbhan Singh has been sentenced in the murder case, due to which he cannot contest elections himself. Apart from this, with the dominance of Lalan and Anant Singh in the Munger belt, the political impact of Surajbhan decreased.
Surajbhan’s family is currently in Chirag Paswan’s party LJP (R), but the NDA is both JDU and LJP. Anant Singh’s wife Neelam Devi is an MLA from Munger seat, but is in JDU except RJD. In such a situation, Surjbhan’s wife Veena Devi will contest the election on an NDA ticket from Mokama seat or Neelam Devi, wife of Anant Singh. In this way, the political credibility of both the Bahubali family is at stake, but political condition and direction are not fixed.

What will happen to Bahubali families of Bihar?
Sunil Pandey is also counted among the Bahubali leaders of Bihar. Sunil Pandey’s son Vishal Pandey is an MLA from Tarari. Sunil Pandey himself is an MLC and his brother Hulas Pandey is also engaged in establishing himself. In Bhojpur area of Bihar, Sunil Pandey used to speak, but now the effect has reduced. Sunil’s vigorous opponent Sudama Yadav is an MP from RJD. Sunil Pandey’s son Vishal Prashant has been elected MLA from BJP, who can get tickets from BJP. But Sunil Pandey is not easy to establish his dominance as before.
Former Lalganj MLA Vijay Kumar Shukla, also known as Munna Shukla. He also made his wife Annu Shukla an MLA, but has left BJP and joined RJD. Munna Shukla’s family will get a ticket from RJD or not, it is not confirmed. Under the rule of Lalu Yadav, Bahubali used to speak Prabhunath Singh, but now his politics has reached marginalized due to the impact of the court and the impact of RJD.
Prabhunath Singh’s son Randhir Singh is also in politics and has been an MLA. In the last assembly election, Prabhunath Singh’s son Randhir contested from Chhapra and nephew Sudhir Singh from Taraiya seat. Both had to face defeat. Randhir Singh left RJD at the time of Lok Sabha elections and joined JDU. He is currently the state general secretary of JDU or not to get a ticket in 2025 or not.

Rajan Tiwari also used to have his own name in Bahubali, Bihar. The Tiwari family has also been active in politics. Rajan’s mother Kanti Devi has been a block chief. Rajan’s elder brother Raju Tiwari is also in politics. Raju, who was an MLA from Govindganj assembly seat, is currently the state president of LJP (R), led by Chirag Paswan, but whether Rajan Tiwari’s family will be able to travel to the assembly, it is difficult to say.
In Bihar, Kishore Singh alias Rama Singh had entered electoral politics by contesting the election of legislature from Mahanar assembly seat under Hajipur parliamentary seat. Rama Singh is a five -time former MLA and has also been an MP once. He contested assembly elections from RJD in 2020, but in 2024 joined LJD. Is. Thakur is considered a leader and also has a domineering image, but in 2025 it has to be seen whether they land on the election pitch or not?
Independent MP from Purnia Pappu Yadav was once considered a domineering Bahubali leader in Kosi area, but is now trying to change his image. Pappu Yadav’s political impact has reduced, due to which his wife Ranjita Ranjan has had to lose elections twice in a row. Although Pappu Yadav is busy changing his image, but the political influence has been very less.
Why Bahubali politics is getting weaker in Bihar?
According to political analysts, the political attitude of the Bahubalis has been parallel to politicians for the last few years. For example, if someone goes to Bahubali jail, then his wife or son comes in politics. Anant Singh, Surajbhan, Anand Mohan, Surendra Yadav can be seen in Bahubali. These Bahubali directly promote dynasty like a politician after entering electoral politics, but it is not easy for him to maintain his political dominance in the changed era.
In Bihar’s politics, the impact of muscle power is seen to be decreasing. Political parties are also avoiding giving tickets. Pappu Yadav was not made a candidate by both RJD and Congress, even though there was something else, but the political impact was also a reason. Bahubalis definitely have a network in their area, which is now breaking. The politics of the country has also changed, due to which the politics of Bahubali leaders has weakened. That is why neither the claim is strong nor the ticket is confirmed.
