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.

Minhaj-us-Siraj: Author of Tabaqat-i-Nasiri

Minhaj-ud-din Abu Uraar bin Siraj-ud-din al-Juzjani, popularly known as Minhaj-us-Siraj,  was a medieval historian who was patronized by Slave Sultan Nasir-ud-din Mahmud to whom he had dedicated his magnum opus Tabaqat-i-Nasiri . Since Siraj held the high office of the Chief Qazi of Delhi to which he was appointed by Nasir-ud-din Mahmud, it is natural that Tabaqat-i-Nasiri gives a first hand account of the historical events from the conquest of Delhi by Muhammad of Ghur up to the year 1260 AD. Siraj was temporarily removed from the post of Chief Qazi from 1253 to 1255 when a section of nobles induced the Sultan to send his prime minister Balban into exile.  Tabaqat-i-Nasiri has been translated into English by Raverty .   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This page was last edited on 24 July 2021
