nPradeep had come to the limelight in 2005 whennNitish Kumar personally gave him the ticket for Assembly Election. That had shocked many because ofnPradeep’s background. People were not expecting a leader Nitish Kumar to select an alleged gangster to fight Assembly Election.

nWarisaliganj is a Bhumiharnand Kurmi dominated constituency. Pradeep Mahto is a Kurmi while Akhilesh Singhnis a Bhumihar. In the Bihar Assembly Election, 2015, Aruna Devi of the BJP – wife of Akhilesh Singh – defeated Pradeep Mahto by heavy margin. Pradeep Mahto couldn’t hold even his strong areas during a rather wave election for Mahagathbandhan.
n
nThe main reason behind the decimation of Pradeep Mahto was the fact that this time Akhilesh Singh was out on bail and was available for campaigning. He managed entire election in a wonderful way.
