RJD rebel sets up a battle of three women in land of Sita
The New Indian Express Nagapattinam
|November 10, 2025
BIHAR’S women power has been a subject of animated discussion during the assembly election campaign, but the Parihar assembly constituency in Sitamarhi district stands out as three women are in the fray.
It’s a contest among three influential women in the constituency, close to Maa Janki temple near Punaruadham, which caught nation’s attention after Home Minister Amit Shah laid the foundation for renovation of the temple at ₹800 crore.
The seat is now held by BJP MLA Gayatri Devi, who is seeking reelection to make a hat-trick. She defeated Ritu Jaiswal of the RJD by a margin of about 2000 votes in 2020 polls.
Tn 2010, Gayantri’s husband Ram Naresh Yadav had won from Parihar that came into existence after delimitation in 2008. In 2015, Gayatri as a BJP nominee defeated Ram Chandra Purbe, then RJD state chief. In 2020, she retained the seat.
