Maithili Thakur Wins Alinagar: Becomes Youngest MLA in Bihar – Full Election Result Highlights

Maithili Thakur, the 25-year-old singer-turned-politician, has created history by winning the Alinagar Assembly seat in Bihar, becoming the youngest MLA in the state. Contesting on a BJP ticket, she secured a strong victory margin against her main rival from the RJD, cementing her entry into mainstream politics with remarkable public support.

The counting day remained largely in her favor from the very beginning. Round after round, Maithili maintained a consistent lead, at times stretching her margin by several thousand votes. By the final rounds, it became clear that the people of Alinagar had decisively chosen her as their representative.

Campaign Backed by Youth & Cultural Connect

Thakur, already a widely admired youth icon and folk singer from the Mithila region, leveraged her strong cultural roots and digital popularity during her campaign. Her promises focused on women’s education, improving rural infrastructure, promoting Mithila art, and increasing opportunities for young people — messages that strongly resonated with the electorate.

Her personal connection with the people, built over years through her music and social outreach, played a significant role in mobilizing first-time voters and women voters across the constituency.

Opposition Trails Throughout Counting

Her primary opponent from the RJD struggled to close the margin as the counting progressed. Even after 15+ rounds, the gap continued to widen, signaling a one-sided contest. The Jan Suraaj Party, which was trying to make inroads in the region, failed to make a significant impact on the vote tally.

Maithili Thakur’s Reaction After the Win

Soon after her victory was confirmed, Maithili Thakur expressed gratitude to the people of Alinagar, calling the moment “a dream come true” and promising to serve with humility and dedication. She emphasized that her win belonged to "every daughter of Bihar who dreams big.”
