Kumhrar

Overview & 2025 Context

Kumhrar, Assembly Constituency number 183 in Patna district, produced a landslide verdict in the 2025 Bihar polls. Sanjay Kumar of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finished first with 100,485 votes (57.91%), defeating Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC), who polled 52,961 (30.52%). The victory margin was 47,524 votes. Of 431,390 electors, 173,508 votes were polled and turnout stood at 40.22%.

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: Sanjay Kumar (BJP, 100,485 / 57.91%); Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC, 52,961 / 30.52%); Krishna Chandra Sinha (Jan Suraaj, 15,017 / 8.66%); Dr. Uma Kant Pathak (BSP, 668 / 39%).

Campaign noise statewide does not erase the arithmetic of this Legislative Assembly segment: the gap between Sanjay Kumar and Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi is the binding fact for seat 183, and every other claim about caste blocs or welfare messaging has to be tested against that published margin of 47,524 votes.

Geographical & Administrative Profile

Patna district contains Bihar’s capital region on the southern bank of the Ganga, mixing dense urban assembly segments with peri-urban and rural southern blocks. Administratively, Kumhrar is Assembly Constituency number 183 under Patna (headquarters: Patna). 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. Kumhrar sits inside that Patna 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: Arun Kumar Sinha (BJP) by 26,463 votes; 2015: Arun Kumar Sinha (BJP) by 37,275 votes; 2010: Arun Kumar Sinha (BJP) by 67,808 votes.

Against that backdrop, the 2025 win for Sanjay Kumar (BJP) in Legislative Assembly segment number 183 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: 431,390. Votes polled: 173,508. Turnout: 40.22%. Winner Sanjay Kumar (BJP): 100,485 (57.91%); runner-up Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC): 52,961 (30.52%); margin: 47,524 — a landslide verdict relative to total votes polled in this Legislative Assembly.

Turnout 40.22% with 173,508 votes from 431,390 electors remains the participation baseline for comparing this seat with neighbouring Legislative Assembly segments in Patna.

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 Patna, voters also weighed urban services, traffic and flooding in wards, peri-urban land use. a landslide verdict for Sanjay Kumar (BJP) against Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC) suggests the winner’s camp converted a broader preference in seat 183.

None of those themes automatically explain every booth. The usable conclusion for Kumhrar is narrower: Sanjay Kumar (BJP) outpolled Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC) by 47,524 votes under 40.22% turnout, and that is the 2025 mandate recorded for Assembly Constituency number 183.

Reading 2025 carefully means separating statewide wave talk from booth-level conversion in Kumhrar. Sanjay Kumar (BJP) converted 100,485 votes; Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi (INC) had 52,961. Turnout 40.22% and margin 47,524 in seat 183 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 431,390, votes polled 173,508, and the head-to-head between Sanjay Kumar and Indradeep Kumar Chandravanshi. District cues in Patna 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.
