Maithili Thakur Creates History: 25-Year-Old Singer Wins Alinagar Seat in Bihar Election 2025

In a remarkable moment for Bihar politics, singer-turned-politician Maithili Thakur has won the Alinagar Assembly seat in the Bihar Election 2025. At just 25 years old, she is set to become the youngest MLA in the state’s history, marking a major milestone both for her and for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The young artist, who is widely loved for her folk and classical music, secured a clear and convincing victory over RJD’s Binod Mishra. Her win has brought a fresh wave of enthusiasm among young voters and first-time voters across the region.

Maithili Thakur’s campaign stood out for its simplicity, cultural connection and strong grassroots reach. Many voters, especially women and youth, resonated with her clean image, humble personality and promise of honest, development-focused leadership. Her popularity as a musician also helped her build a strong emotional connection with the public.

For the BJP, Maithili’s victory carries significant political weight. The party has captured the Alinagar seat for the first time, and her presence is being seen as part of a larger strategy to introduce young and fresh faces into state politics. Political analysts believe her win signals a generational shift in Bihar’s political atmosphere.

After her victory, Maithili Thakur thanked the people of Alinagar and said she would work “with complete dedication” to fulfill the expectations of her supporters. She also expressed gratitude for the love she has received over the years—not just as a singer, but now as a public representative.

With her entry into the Bihar Legislative Assembly, all eyes will be on how the young MLA transforms her promises into on-ground action. But for now, her win has already created history and inspired thousands across the state.
