Daraundha

Overview & 2025 Context

Daraundha, Legislative Assembly segment number 109 in Siwan district, produced a clear mandate in the 2025 Bihar polls. Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished first with 87,047 votes (47.02%), defeating Amarnath Yadav (CPI(ML)(L)), who polled 68,680 (37.1%). The victory margin was 18,367 votes. Of 315,729 electors, 185,285 votes were polled and turnout stood at 58.68%.

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, the local verdict hinged on candidate networks and booth-level conversion as much as alliance symbols. Leading contenders by votes included: Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP, 87,047 / 47.02%); Amarnath Yadav (CPI(ML)(L), 68,680 / 37.1%); Gudiya Devi (IND, 11,133 / 6.01%); Satyandra Yadav (Jan Suraaj, 6,731 / 3.64%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh and Amarnath Yadav is the binding fact for seat 109, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 18,367 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Siwan district in the Saran belt is known for high out-migration and remittance-supported rural households alongside local market towns. Administratively, Daraundha is Assembly Constituency number 109 under Siwan (headquarters: Siwan). 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. Daraundha sits inside that Siwan 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: Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP) by 11,320 votes; 2015: Kavita Singh (JD(U)) by 13,222 votes; 2010: JAGMATO DEVI (JD(U)) by 31,135 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2025 win for Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP) in Assembly Constituency number 109 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.

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 Siwan, voters also weighed migration, jobs at home, rural infrastructure. a clear mandate for Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP) against Amarnath Yadav (CPI(ML)(L)) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 109.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Daraundha is narrower: Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP) outpolled Amarnath Yadav (CPI(ML)(L)) by 18,367 votes under 58.68% turnout, and that is the 2025 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 109.

Reading 2025 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Daraundha. Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh (BJP) converted 87,047 votes; Amarnath Yadav (CPI(ML)(L)) had 68,680. Turnout 58.68% and margin 18,367 in seat 109 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 315,729, votes polled 185,285, and the head-to-head between Karnjeet Singh Alias Vyas Singh and Amarnath Yadav. District cues in Siwan 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.
