Ziradei Ground Report: Praise, Protests & Politics Around MLA Amarjeet Kushwaha

In this ground report from Ziradei Assembly constituency in Siwan, Bihar, Witty Chokha reporter Gaurav Mishra brings an in-depth look at the report card event of MLA Amarjeet Kushwaha, a CPI(ML) leader and Mahagathbandhan representative, held at Hariram Mahavidyalaya, Mairwa. The gathering became a snapshot of Bihar’s political undercurrent a mix of appreciation, frustration, and confusion among the voters.

As Gaurav interacts with locals, particularly women voters, multiple perspectives emerge. Some praised Kushwaha for his approachability, road construction projects, and efforts in local development. They saw him as a “people’s MLA” who stands with the poor. However, others expressed disappointment over unemployment, poverty, and unfulfilled promises of loans and welfare benefits.

Interestingly, several attendees admitted they came to support Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Minister candidate, even without full clarity on the event’s political association. This confusion reflects the complex fabric of Bihar’s grassroots politics, where alliances blur and loyalty often overlaps with emotion.

Many women supporters passionately defended Amarjeet Kushwaha, calling him “innocent” in the Jira Chilmarwa case, insisting he was falsely accused and later acquitted a sign of strong emotional connection between voters and local leaders.

Through this candid on-ground coverage, Witty Chokha captures the pulse of rural Bihar a place where political loyalty, local development, and survival needs intertwine, shaping the unpredictable narrative of Bihar Election 2025.
