Alinagar Election Results 2025: Alinagar Election Results: Making her first entry into politics, 25-year-old BJP candidate Maithili Thakur has won the Alinagar Assembly seat in Bihar. She secured 84,915 votes, defeating RJD’s Binod Mishra, who got 73,185 votes, by a margin of 11,730 votes.

Alinagar, a key constituency in Darbhanga, has seen close fights in the past. The seat was a stronghold of RJD veteran Abdul Bari Siddiqui, who won seven times before retiring in 2015. In 2020, Mishri Lal Yadav of the Vikassheel Insaan Party, a former RJD member who joined the NDA, won by just over 3,000 votes.

This time, the spotlight was on folk singer and BJP cultural ambassador Maithili Thakur, who faced a direct contest with Binod Mishra, the 2020 runner-up, and Biplaw Kumar Choudhary of the Jan Suraaj Party.

Other candidates, including Independent Saifuddin Ahmed (2,803 votes) and Biplaw Kumar Choudhary (2,275 votes), trailed far behind. Thakur’s win shows a shift in Alinagar, strengthening BJP’s position in Darbhanga.
