Retired bureaucrats are increasingly trading stable careers for the unpredictable arena of politics in Bihar as the countdown to the 2025 assembly elections begins.

- Sanjeev K Jha

This election season, a sizeable number of retired bureaucrats have expressed political ambitions. Among them are retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer Manoj Bharti and former IPS officers Braja Kishore Singh, Amitabh Kumar Das, Jay Prakash Singh, Ashish Mishra and Shivdeep Waman Lande.

While Bharti, Das and Jay Prakash Singh have joined Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party; Braja Kishore Singh and Ashish Mishra are in the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), respectively.

Lande, widely popular for his policing style, took VRS in 2024 and went a step further, launching his own political outfit Hind Sena on April 8, 2025.
