Rosera Assembly Constituency Awaits Verdict in High-Stakes Bihar Battle
The electoral fate of Rosera, a key Scheduled Caste (SC) reserved assembly constituency in Bihar's Samastipur district, is set to be decided as counting of votes for the 2025 Bihar Vidhan Sabha elections is underway. The constituency went to polls on November 06, 2025, during the first phase of the state's two-phase election process. All eyes are on this seat to see if the incumbent can retain his position against a fresh wave of challengers.
Key Candidates in the Fray for Rosera Seat
The Rosera constituency witnessed a multi-cornered contest with several prominent candidates vying for the seat. The key contenders include Birendra Kumar from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who is the sitting MLA. He is challenged by Braj Kishore Ravi representing the Indian National Congress (INC) and Rohit Kumar from the Jan Suraaj Party. Other candidates who contested from Rosera are Amit Kumar Baitha (BSP), Devendra Kumar Paswan (Bhartiya Mahasangh Party), and Rajesh Kumar Paswan (Independent).
The political significance of this seat is heightened by its past performance. In the previous 2020 Assembly elections, the BJP's Birendra Kumar won by a massive margin of 35,744 votes. The runner-up was the INC's Nagendra Kumar Vikal, who secured 51,419 votes. This historical context sets a challenging benchmark for the current contenders.
Bihar's Electoral Landscape and Voter Participation
The elections for the 243 seats of the Bihar Legislative Assembly were held in two phases on November 06, 2025, and November 11, 2025. The state witnessed a keenly contested battle between the two major regional alliances – the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan and the NDA comprising JD(U), BJP, and other partners.
Reflecting the high political stakes, Bihar recorded a voter turnout of 57.3% this year, which is slightly higher than the participation rate observed in the 2020 assembly elections. This increased engagement indicates the heightened public interest in determining the state's next government.
As the counting progresses, political observers are closely monitoring Rosera and other key constituencies to gauge the public mandate. The results will not only determine the local representative but also significantly contribute to the overall formation of the state government in Patna.
