Election results

In 1962, Chandra Shekhar Singh won from Barauni seat as the first Left party member to the state legislative assembly.[5] Since then Teghra has been bastion of CPI till 2010 when it was defeated.[6]

2010

In the 2010 state assembly elections, Lalan Kunwar of Bharatiya Janata Party won the newly constituted Teghra seat defeating his nearest rival Ram Ratan Singh of CPI.[7][8]

2015

RJD's Birendra Kumar Mahto defeated Ram Lakhan Singh of Bhartiya Janata Party by over 53,364votes. The reason of the big margin win was a simple caste and political equation. CPI member and BJP member both were from the same community so the vote bank get shared and BJP as well as CPI lost the vidhan sabha battle. RJD is in Mahagathbandhan(Congress, RJD,JDU) and muslim voters always leaned with the congress and RJD so the RJD(Rashtriya Janada Dal) won the seat.[9]

Members of Legislative Assembly
gollark: The US government, and large business owners and whoever else ("capitalism"), don't really want people to die in large numbers *either*, they're:- still *people*- adversely affected by said large numbers dying, because: - if lots of people die in the US compared to elsewhere, they'll look bad come reelection - most metrics people look at will also be worse off if many die and/or are ill for a while - many deaths would reduce demand for their stuff, and they might lose important workers, and more deaths means a worse recession
gollark: That is stupid on so many levels. Is it meant to be some homepathic thing, where the blood is obviously even more worserer if they dilute it?
gollark: Why did YouTube recommend this to me‽ Why?
gollark: Governments seem to now be making it some sort of ridiculous competition to have 5G as soon as possible even with no immediate uses, which is annoying.
gollark: That does make some sense, I guess. But hardly seems like it requires specifically 5G.
