The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are shaping up to be a high-voltage political battle, and all eyes are on Tarapur, where BJP’s Samrat Choudhary will face RJD’s Arun Kumar in one of the most closely watched contests of the season.
Both leaders bring strong political legacies and contrasting ideologies to the table, setting the stage for a fierce electoral showdown that could influence the overall power balance in Bihar.
