In a dramatic turn ahead of the Bihar Assembly Election 2025, Janata Dal (United) state general secretary Dr Asma Parveen broke down in tears after being denied a party ticket from the Mahua constituency. Following the emotional moment, she announced her resignation from both her post and the party membership. Dr Parveen, who contested the 2020 assembly elections from Mahua on a JDU ticket, had lost to RJD’s Mukesh Roshan by around 13,000 votes. Despite the loss, she remained active in local politics and was considered a strong contender for the 2025 polls. However, due to seat-sharing arrangements within the NDA alliance, the Mahua seat went to Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), dashing her hopes of contesting again on a JDU ticket.
