Bihar Phase 6 April 24,2014 -7 Seats

Bihar's 7 parliamentary constituencies that vote on Thursday April 24,2014 have a sizeable Muslim population

Bihar's most backward pockets with high percentage of poverty, illiteracy and migration are part of the five constituencies - Kishanganj, Purnea, Araria, Katihar and Supaul - known as the Seemanchal region as they share border with Nepal, Bangladesh or West Bengal.

They have a sizeable Muslim population - from 17 % in Supaul to nearly 70 % in Kishanganj. Supaul is also regarded as part of flood-devastated Kosi region.

Two other constituencies, Bhagalpur and Banka, are not in Seemanchal but both have significant Muslim population that will influence the poll outcome.

BJP has joined hands with Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Samata Party hoping to get the votes of the dalits and the Kushwaha community, but it faces the threat of polarisation of Muslim votes against it

In the last polls in 2009, the BJP won Araria, Purnea, Katihar and Bhagalpur, barring Kishanganj where Congress candidate Ashrarul Haque won
