CPI(ML) Liberation Secures 18 Seats in Mahagathbandhan, Possible Increase; Candidates Announced, Demand for Aftab Alam from Aurai Gains Momentum

Insaaf Times Desk

Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, the CPI(ML) Liberation, a constituent of the Mahagathbandhan, has finalized 18 of its seats and announced their candidates, while discussions are still ongoing for the remaining constituencies. The party is expected to contest a total of 21 seats, though analysts suggest the final number may likely be limited to 19.

There is significant pressure from Muslim social leaders and activists for the Aurai Assembly seat to be allocated to CPI(ML) and for Aftab Alam to be fielded as the candidate. This issue has sparked continuous discussions among Muslim leaders and social activists across Bihar.

Mustaqim Siddiqui, an active social and political activist and coordinator of ‘Sangharsh Samvad,’ said, “The question is directed at CPI(ML) Liberation, Bihar, i.e., the party itself — but the responsibility for the answer also lies with Tejashwi Yadav and RJD. If a seat belongs to CPI(ML), why is RJD eyeing it? A coalition is not just about seat arithmetic; it is also about trust.”

He warned that ignoring leaders like Aftab Alam, who have strong grassroots recognition, would not only be a loss of a candidate but would also cast a shadow over the credibility of the entire Mahagathbandhan.

Siddiqui further added, “The people of Aurai are watching closely — this is not just an assembly seat but a test of the coalition’s integrity. If trust is overlooked, the loss won’t be limited to a single candidate but will affect the credibility of the entire INDIA coalition.”

Confirmed 18 Seats and Their Candidates:

1.Tarari (196) – Madan Singh Chandravanshi

2.Agiawan SC (195) – Shivprakash Ranjan

3.Arrah (194) – Qayyamuddin Ansari

4.Dumraon (201) – Ajit Kumar Singh alias Ajit Kushwaha

5.Karakat (213) – Arun Singh

6.Arwal (214) – Mahanand Singh

7.Ghosi (217) – Rambali Singh Yadav

8.Paliganj (190) – Sandeep Saurabh

9.Phulwari (188) – Gopal Ravidas

10.Digha (181) – Divya Gautam

11.Darouli (107) – Satyadev Ram

12.Jiradei (106) – Amarjeet Kushwaha

13.Daraunda (109) – Amarnath Yadav

14.Bhore (103) – Jitendra Paswan

15.Sikta (09) – Virendra Prasad Gupta

16.Warisnagar (132) – Phoolbabu Singh

17.Kalyanpur (131) – Ranjit Ram

18.Balrampur (65) – Mahboob Alam

Decisions on the 19th, 20th, and 21st seats are still pending. Political analysts believe that the demand for fielding Aftab Alam from Aurai is strong and could serve as a crucial test of trust and partnership within the Mahagathbandhan.
