Baisi

Overview & 2025 Context

Baisi, Assembly Constituency number 57 in Purnia district, produced a clear mandate in the 2025 Bihar polls. Ghulam Sarwar of All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) finished first with 92,766 votes (41.37%), defeating Vinod Kumar (BJP), who polled 65,515 (29.22%). The victory margin was 27,251 votes. Of 286,869 electors, 224,255 votes were polled and turnout stood at 78.17%.

The 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly election was a bipolar contest between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan. Campaign discourse centred on unemployment, youth out-migration, welfare delivery, women’s schemes, caste arithmetic, and competing claims on jobs versus market-led growth, as reported across major coverage of the polls. In this Legislative Assembly seat, the local verdict hinged on candidate networks and booth-level conversion as much as alliance symbols. Leading contenders by votes included: Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM, 92,766 / 41.37%); Vinod Kumar (BJP, 65,515 / 29.22%); Abdus Subahan (RJD, 56,000 / 24.97%); Mohammad Muzammil (PECP, 2,444 / 1.09%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between Ghulam Sarwar and Vinod Kumar is the binding fact for seat 57, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 27,251 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Purnia is the Seemanchal division hub of north-east Bihar with mixed urban commerce and surrounding flood-influenced agrarian belts. Administratively, Baisi is Assembly Constituency number 57 under Purnia (headquarters: Purnia). Like neighbouring segments, it mixes rural habitations and market nodes where roads, schools, health access and welfare delivery travel with voters as strongly as statewide narratives.

Geography here is not ornamental for election reading. Flood plains, market roads and block headquarters shape who can mobilise, who migrates for work, and which booth clusters decide close Assembly Constituency contests. Baisi sits inside that Purnia administrative map even when national television talks only of alliances.

History & Past Election Trends

On the same constituency lineage, recent Legislative Assembly outcomes were — 2020: SYED RUKNUDDIN AHMAD (AIMIM) by 16,373 votes; 2015: ABDUS SUBHAN (RJD) by 38,740 votes; 2010: SANTOSH KUMAR (BJP) by 9,250 votes; 2005: ABDUS SUBHAN (RJD) by 3,945 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2025 win for Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM) in Legislative Assembly segment number 57 should be read as continuity where the same camp had dominated, or as another swing where the lineage had flipped before — never by treating the serial number alone as eternal identity.

Statistics & Gender-wise Polling Analysis

Electors: 286,869. Votes polled: 224,255. Turnout: 78.17%. Winner Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM): 92,766 (41.37%); runner-up Vinod Kumar (BJP): 65,515 (29.22%); margin: 27,251 — a clear mandate relative to total votes polled in this Legislative Assembly.

Turnout 78.17% with 224,255 votes from 286,869 electors remains the participation baseline for comparing this seat with neighbouring Legislative Assembly segments in Purnia.

Issues That Drove Voting Behavior

Statewide themes included jobs and migration, welfare and women-centric schemes, caste coalitions, governance/law-and-order messaging, and local delivery of roads, flood control and farm support. In Purnia, voters also weighed floods, minority-majority social coalitions, farm markets. a clear mandate for Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM) against Vinod Kumar (BJP) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 57.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Baisi is narrower: Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM) outpolled Vinod Kumar (BJP) by 27,251 votes under 78.17% turnout, and that is the 2025 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 57.

Reading 2025 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Baisi. Ghulam Sarwar (AIMIM) converted 92,766 votes; Vinod Kumar (BJP) had 65,515. Turnout 78.17% and margin 27,251 in seat 57 signal organisational reach across polling stations rather than a single-day mood swing alone.

For journalists and researchers, the safer frame is lineage continuity plus the published 2025 table: electors 286,869, votes polled 224,255, and the head-to-head between Ghulam Sarwar and Vinod Kumar. District cues in Purnia still matter — roads, floods, farm prices, migration and welfare delivery — but they must be weighed against what the EVM count actually recorded in this Assembly Constituency / Legislative Assembly seat.
