The Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP), led by Om Prakash Rajbhar, has announced that it will contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections independently after being dropped from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s seat-sharing arrangement. Feeling sidelined and denied the seats they had requested, SBSP decided to assert its presence in the elections without aligning with any major coalition. The party plans to contest 153 out of 243 seats and has already announced a list of 48 candidates for the first phase of voting, along with 20 star campaigners including Om Prakash Rajbhar and his sons Arvind Rajbhar and Arun Rajbhar. SBSP claims strong organizational influence in eastern Bihar, where communities like Rajbhar, Bhar, and Rajvanshi hold significant sway. This move could impact the vote share in key OBC/EBC-dominated constituencies, potentially splitting votes that might have otherwise gone to the BJP-NDA alliance. SBSP emphasizes its commitment to social justice and regional representation, positioning itself as a significant player in Bihar politics ahead of the November 6 and November 11, 2025 polling dates. #BiharElections2025 #SBSP #OmPrakashRajbhar #SeatSharingDispute #NDA #BJP #OBCPolitics #RegionalParties #ElectionStrategy #PoliticalRealignment
