Begusarai, one of the seven assembly constituencies in the district of the same name in Bihar, is currently held by the BJP legislator Kundan Kumar who won the seat by defeating his nearest rival and then incumbent MLA MLA Amita Bhushan of Congress by a margin of 4,554  votes in the last assembly elections to Bihar in 2020.

In that election, while Kundan Kumar had polled 74,217 votes, the Congress candidate had secured 69,663 votes and was followed by independent candidate Rajesh Kumar who received 18,002 votes.

Amita Bhushan had earlier won form the Begusarai Assembly Constituency  in 2015. 

The BJP legislator Surendra Mehta had won the seat  in the assembly elections to Bihar in 2010. Begusarai was won by Srikrishna Prasad Singh of the BJP in a byepoll in 2009. The by-election was necessitated due to the resignation of the sitting BJP MLA Bhola Singh who was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Nawada parliamentary constituency in 2009.  Sri Krishna Prasad Singh was denied ticket by the party for 2010 assembly election to Begusarai .

Bhola Singh had won the Begusarai assembly seat in 2000 and both the elections in 2005 on the ticket of the BJP. It is very much to the point to underline the fact that Bihar went to the assembly polls twice in 2005 because the earlier one held in February threw hung assembly necessitating the holding of the second assembly polls in the months of October/November of the same year. 


Known for switching loyalties Bhola Singh had won the Begusarai assembly seat in 1967 as an independent. His win in 1972 came as a member of the CPI. He won the next three elections (1977, 1980 and 1985) as a nominee of the Congress.

Begusarai seat went in favour of the CPIM in 1990 and 1995 when its candidates Basudev Singh and Rajendra Pd. Singh emerged winners respectively.

Begusarai is one of the seven assembly constituencies that combine to form the parliamentary constituency of the same name which is currently represented by Giriraj Singh. 

Other six assembly constituencies that fall under the Begusarai Lok Sabha seat are Bakhri, Bachhwara, Cheria Bariarpur, Teghra, Matihani and Sahebpur Kamal.

Muhammad Shah Rangila

Aurangzeb, the last great Mughal emperor, died in 1707. Muhammad Shah became Mughal emperor in 1719. During the interregnum, Bahadur Shah I , Jahandar Shah, Farrukhsiyar, Rafi-ud-Darajat and Rafi-ud-Daula ascended the Mughal throne. Jahandar Shah was murdered on the orders of Farrukhsiyar who had the support of the two powerful Mughal nobles Sayyid Abdullah and his brother Sayyid Husain Ali at that time. They are famous in history as Sayyid brothers, the King-makers. In 1719, Farrukhsiyar were murdered in utter disregard of a Mughal emperor by Sayyid brothers. Rafi-ud-Darajat died of consumption in a few months. Rafi-ud-Daula was addicted to opium and died in 4 months. Sayyid brothers now chose Raushan Akhtar, a son of Jahan Shah (the fourth son of Bahadur Shah I), to be the emperor. Raushan Akhtar ascended the throne under the title of Muhamamd Shah in September 1719. In the beginning Muhammad Shah was a puppet in the hands of Sayyid brothers who soon began to lose their gri...

Muzaffarid dynasty of Gujarat

          Champaner’s Jama Masjid, built by Mahmud Begada/Wikimedia Commons Muzaffarid dynasty of Gujarat was founded by Zafar Khan, who was appointed governor of Gujarat in 1391 by the ruler of Delhi Sultanate, with the title Muzaffar Khan. Zafar Khan was son of Sadharan, a Jat convert to Islam. Firuz Shah Tughluq was married to Sadharan’s sister. Muzaffar Khan remained loyal to Delhi sultanate and was able to suppress the rebellions of Muslim and Hindu chieftains.

Turkan-i-Chahalgani, the Group of Forty

Amir-i-Chahalgani, known variously as Turkan-i-Chahalgani and Chalisa (The Forty), was a group of 40 faithful slaves which came into existence with the task of protecting Shamsuddin Iltutmish , the third Slave Sultan of Delhi Sultanate. The idea to form the group was taken by him when he came to realize that Turkish nobles cannot be trusted and could be a threat to his rule. With the passage of time the group went on to become very influential and powerful. Though Iltutmish succeeded in keeping the group under control, after his rule they became notorious and intrigued against nearly all his successors.  The Forty acquired domination on the affairs of the state so much so that no ruler could defy them. Without their support it was utterly out of questions for the rulers to win the battle for succession. The members of this Turkish nobility used to appropriate all the offices of the state to themselves. Some of the rulers of the Slave dynasty after Iltutmish were murdered by these s...
