Aditya Jha announced his candidacy for the Darbhanga Vidhan Parishad seat on 5 October after BJP declined to support him, challenging the performance of BJP‑backed candidate Sarvesh Kumar.
Aditya Jha, a local political figure from Darbhanga, formally filed his nomination papers for the upcoming Vidhan Parishad election on 5 October. The move came after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chose not to back him, prompting Jha to seek an independent path.
Jha expressed disappointment at the BJP’s decision, citing a lack of support for his campaign. He has highlighted the party’s failure to provide the necessary resources and backing for his candidacy.
In addition to his own nomination, Jha has publicly questioned the track record of Sarvesh Kumar, the BJP‑endorsed candidate. He points to Kumar’s six‑year tenure in the constituency, arguing that his performance has not met voter expectations.
The announcement adds a new dimension to the Darbhanga Vidhan Parishad race, potentially splitting the vote and altering the dynamics between the BJP and other parties in the region.
