Araria constituency
Araria district remains one of the most underdeveloped in the region, with 92 per cent of its villages lacking medical facilities and 20 per cent having no formal education infrastructure. The majority of the villages in the district remain without electricity.
For years, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) maintained a stronghold in the seat without any serious competition. However, the INC won the seat in 2015, marking one of the dramatic shifts in the constituency. Since then, the contingency has witnessed growing unpredictable trends.
