Bihar Election: Veena Devi Seeks Blessings, Mokama Votes in Fierce Battle Between Political Titans

Mokama, Bihar, As the polling day progresses, all eyes remain on Mokama, one of Bihar’s most high-profile and tense constituencies. RJD candidate Veena Devi, accompanied by her husband and influential leader Suraj Bhan Singh, visited a local temple early this morning to seek divine blessings before casting her vote. The symbolic gesture underscores the emotional and political weight of the contest. Veena Devi faces Anant Singh, the formidable JD(U) candidate known for his strongman image and deep-rooted influence in the region. The contest, steeped in decades of rivalry and political dominance, has become one of the most closely watched races in the state. Across polling stations, voters have lined up patiently, many voicing their determination to vote for peace, development, and better governance in Bihar. Authorities have deployed additional security forces to ensure safe and fair polling across all 342 booths in Mokama. Meanwhile, in Bakhtiyarpur, voter turnout is gradually increasing, reflecting strong public engagement. As the day unfolds, the big question remains: will Mokama continue its legacy of power politics, or will voters script a new chapter in Bihar’s political story?
