Strengths:
- Big and active voter group (284,014 in 2020) with good voting rates (57.4% in 2020), including Brahmin, Yadav, and Muslim communities.
- Located in Darbhanga, close to the main town (38 km), making it politically important.
- Strong political background with RJD’s past wins and NDA’s recent success in 2020 through Mishri Lal Yadav.
Weaknesses:

- Problems like floods, bad roads, and no clean water upset people.
- Very close election results (only 3,101 votes difference in 2020) make winning tough.

Threats:
- Politicians switching sides, like Mishri Lal Yadav joining BJP, might make voters, especially Muslims, unhappy.
- RJD, led by Tejashwi Yadav, is working hard to win back its Muslim-Yadav supporters.
