Five constituencies in north Bihar, including Madhepura, Jhanjharpur, Supaul, Araria, and Khagaria, prepare for the third phase of the 2024 general election on May 7. In Madhepura, caste affiliations play a crucial role, with the Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal candidates contesting for dominance. Araria sees a contest between the BJP’s Pradeep Kumar Singh and RJD’s Mohammed Shahnawaz Alam, reflecting familial legacies and community representation. Issues like floods, migration, and underdevelopment shape voter sentiments in this region.
