In a closely watched contest, the ruling BJP is seeking to retain the Patna Sahib assembly seat. The party's Ratnesh Kumar is vying to maintain the BJP's 40-year winning streak, which has seen the party hold the seat for seven consecutive terms under MLA Nand Kishore Yadav. The Congress, led by Shashant Shekhar, aims to break the BJP's dominance and demonstrate the INDIA bloc's ability to win in the party's strongholds. A BJP victory would reinforce its voter base in Urban Bihar, while a Congress win would be a significant upset and validate the INDIA bloc's national-level credentials.
