In order to save his political ground, Bhokta married his son off to a Scheduled Tribe girl, Rashmi Prakash, and managed a representation for her from the seat. Rashmi Prakash is now contesting against LJP candidate Janardan Paswan. Another name is Deepika Pandey Singh, who is the daughter-in-law of former minister in united Bihar, Awadh Bihari Singh. Singh won the election for the first time in 2019 on the Congress ticket, and is fielded again this time against BJP’s Ashok Bhagat.Meera Munda, wife of former Union Minister Ajun Munda, has been fielded by the BJP from Potka Assembly seat. Her chance came as Munda was reluctant to contest this time and wanted his wife to replace him on traditional seat, Kharsawan, where she has been active.
