Patna, November 1 (IANS). Dinara, which falls under the Bikramganj subdivision of the Rohtas district of Bihar, occupies an important place in the communal politics. This assembly constituency is one of the six segments of Buxar Lok Sabha seat. Bordered by Dehri-on-Sone in the east, Buxar district in the west and Kaimur district in the south, this area is situated on the banks of the Son river. Dinara is located in the plains of Ganga and its name comes from the Bhojpuri word diara, which means seasonal island formed when the river’s current changes. Talking about history, this area was part of Magadha, Maurya, Gupta, Pal, Shershah Suri and Mughal empires. Dinara had administrative importance even during the British rule. The population of Dinara is predominantly rural, with Yadavs, Kurmi, Koeri, Dalits and Bhumihars being the dominant communities. About 45 percent voters are from OBC category. While Yadavs are considered traditional supporters of RJD, the Kurmi and Koeri communities are inclined towards BJP and JDU. The number of Bhumihars in this area is around 25 percent, who are generally considered to be BJP supporters. At the same time, 20 percent Dalit voters appear to be crucial for NDA. Muslim voters make up about 6.8 percent, who generally support the Grand Alliance. Dinara assembly seat was established in 1951. So far 17 assembly elections have been held here. Congress has won 5 times so far. While JDU succeeded 4 times. Apart from this, Praja Socialist Party and Samyukta Socialist Party jointly won 3 times. Janata Dal won twice, while Janata Party, BSP and RJD won once each. In the 2020 elections, RJD’s Vijay Kumar Mandal won the seat. Despite being politically active, Dinara is far behind in the race of development. Lack of infrastructure is the biggest problem here. Even today, electricity and roads are not fully available in many towns. Education and health services are extremely limited. For higher education students have to go to Sasaram or Patna. Due to lack of jobs, every year a large number of youths migrate to states like Punjab and Haryana and work as agricultural labourers. According to the data released by the Election Commission in 2024, the total population of Dinara is 5,19,690, which includes 2,70,236 males and 2,49,454 females. At the same time, the total number of voters is 3,07,795. The voters include 1,61,167 men, 1,46,625 women and 3 third genders. –IANS PSK\/ABM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
