In a significant development ahead of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its complete slate of 101 candidates, solidifying its strategy for the high-stakes polls. The party’s latest release of 18 additional candidates on Wednesday night marks the culmination of its selection process, focusing on a mix of fresh faces, women leaders, and strategic shifts to bolster its position in key constituencies.

BJP’s Third List: 18 New Faces Including Two Women Candidates

The third list of BJP candidates for Bihar 2025 introduces two women candidates, emphasizing gender diversity in the lineup. Veena Devi from Kochadhaman and Sangeeta Kumari from Mohania headline the inclusions, alongside other notable nominations such as Satish Kumar Yadav from Raghopur and Vinay Bihari from Lauriya.

However, the list also signals tough decisions, with the party dropping several incumbents. Senior MLA CN Gupta has been sidelined from Chhapra in favor of Chhoti Kumari. Former Minister Suresh Sharma, who represented Muzaffarpur in 2015, and sitting MLA Kusum Devi from Gopalganj have also been denied tickets. Subhash Singh steps in for Gopalganj.

The full 18 BJP candidates announced in the third list are:

  • Nand Kishor Ram (Ramnagar)
  • Sanjay Pandey (Narkatiaganj)
  • Ram Singh (Bagaha)
  • Vinay Bihari (Lauriya)
  • Narayan Prasad (Nautan)
  • Umakant Singh (Chanpatia)
  • Krishna Nandan Paswan (Harsidhi)
  • Sachindra Prasad Singh (Kalyanpur)
  • Lalbabu Prasad Gupta (Chiraiya)
  • Bina Devi (Kochadhaman)
  • Binod Yadav (Baisi)
  • Satish Kumar Yadav (Raghopur)
  • Kumar Shailendra (Bihpur)
  • Murari Paswan (Pirpainti)
  • Ashok Kumar Singh (Ramgarh)
  • Sangeeta Kumari (Mohania)
  • Bharat Bind (Bhabhua)
  • Ranvijay Singh (Goh)

This announcement comes hot on the heels of the second list of 12 candidates released earlier on Wednesday, which featured the youngest contender in the fray: folk singer Maithili Thakur from Alinagar in Darbhanga district. At just 25 years old—having celebrated her birthday in July—Thakur represents a fresh infusion of youth and cultural appeal. Also in this list is former IPS officer Anand Mishra from Buxar, alongside Siyaram Singh replacing Gyanendra Singh Gyanoo in Barh.

Other candidates from the second list include:

  • Ramchandra Prasad (Hayaghat)
  • Ranjan Kumar (Muzaffarpur)
  • Subhash Singh (Gopalganj)
  • Kedar Nath Singh (Baniyapur)
  • Chhoti Kumari (Chhapra)
  • Vinay Kumar Singh (Sonepur)
  • Birendra Kumar (Rosera)
  • Mahesh Paswan (Agiaon)
  • Rakesh Ojha (Shahpur)

The first list of 71 candidates was unveiled on Tuesday, setting the stage for these subsequent releases.

Strategic Shifts in BJP’s Bihar Election 2025 Strategy

The BJP candidate list for Bihar 2025 reflects a calculated approach amid intensifying competition from allies and rivals like the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan. By dropping veterans like Gupta, Sharma, and Devi, the party aims to rejuvenate its image and address anti-incumbency sentiments in crucial Bihar constituencies. The inclusion of artists like Thakur and bureaucrats like Mishra underscores BJP’s push for diverse representation, potentially appealing to younger voters and urban demographics.

As Bihar elections 2025 gear up, with polling dates expected soon, this full 101 BJP candidates list positions the NDA coalition strongly in its seat-sharing quota. Analysts predict these changes could sway marginal seats in regions like East Champaran, Saran, and Bhojpur.

What This Means for Bihar Voters

For voters searching for BJP candidates in Bihar 2025, the finalized list offers clarity on key matchups, including high-profile battles in Raghopur (where RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav has filed nominations) and Muzaffarpur. Stay tuned for reactions from opposition parties and updates on Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 schedule.
