Delhi Election

Fighting the Delhi Election: The Voice of Mithila, Beyond Being a Vote Bank

In every election, political parties in Delhi and across the country tap into the significant Bihari population—often grouping them as a monolithic “Purvanchal” vote bank. This group, constituting more than 40% of Delhi’s population, is seen as a crucial voting bloc but seldom as a people with a unique identity, culture, and history.
They are typically labelled and treated as a mere political resource rather than as citizens with distinct aspirations and needs.
But Mithila is not just a region—it is an identity, a rich culture with millennia of heritage.
This election, I am fighting to ensure that the voice of Mithila is not drowned out by the generic categorization of Bihari migrants or Purvanchal residents.
Mithila is a proud, thriving entity that demands recognition—not just as a vote bank but as a beacon of cultural pride and political strength.

1. Mithila: From Purvanchal to Identity

Political parties across India often use the “Purvanchal” term to group all Bihari voters together, overlooking the distinct cultural and historical identity of Mithila. This election is a chance to change that narrative and reclaim the name of Mithila as a powerful, unifying identity.

• Mithila is not a Vote Bank: It’s a vibrant and unique cultural and historical legacy that deserves recognition on its own merits.
• This Election Will Be Mithila’s Voice: By running for this election, we will make sure that Mithila is not referred to as merely a vote bank but as an identity that contributes to India’s diversity, culture, and future.

2. The People Behind the Identity

The Bihari population, often grouped into the “Purvanchal” category, has more than just political significance; they have a rich culture, language, and a shared history. They deserve more than to be reduced to a faceless vote bank, and it’s time their specific identity—Mithila—takes centre stage in the political landscape.

• Fighting for Identity: This election is a platform to break free from the constraints of the “Purvanchal” label and elevate Mithila as a state that deserves autonomy and respect.
• A Unified Force for Mithila: Mithila’s recognition as a distinct and proud identity will unite the community and inspire new political narratives for the future.

3. The Power of Fasting & Chanting Hanuman Chalisa

I am not just a politician; I am a symbol of unwavering dedication and faith. Starting from January 7th, I will be embarking on a 40-day water fast, while chanting the Hanuman Chalisa 108 times daily, as a powerful expression of my commitment to Mithila and its people. This will be live-streamed on social media for transparency, engagement, and to show the world my dedication to the cause.

• A Personal Sacrifice for Mithila’s Future: This fasting period symbolizes my personal sacrifice for the greater cause of Mithila’s recognition, development, and statehood. It is an act of commitment, not just in words, but in actions.
• Fasting as a Political Statement: This fast is more than just a personal choice—it’s a political act that highlights my dedication to Mithila’s cause. It’s an unshakable message to the nation and the people of Delhi that I am willing to go to extreme lengths to fight for our rights and our identity.

4. The Call to Action: A Movement for Change

With this 40-day fast, we aim to draw attention to the larger political cause of Mithila’s rightful place in India’s future. The act of fasting will:

• Engage the Public: Live streaming the fast and chanting will draw eyes, spark conversations, and build a dedicated following of people who believe in the cause.
• Symbolize Our Struggle: My dedication to fasting for 40 days is a direct representation of the struggles and sacrifices the people of Mithila have made for recognition and progress.
• Unite the Mithila Vote: This movement isn’t just about one person’s fight for the election—it’s about uniting all Maithili, regardless of where they live, to raise their voice against being sidelined or ignored.

5. The Political Opportunity

• A Major Breakthrough: Winning the election in the name of Mithila is more than just about securing a seat. It’s about reinforcing the demand for Mithila’s statehood, autonomy, and rightful place in India’s political map.
• A Wake-Up Call to Delhi’s Political Landscape: The victory will be a resounding message to all political parties that Mithila is no longer a forgotten cause. The people of Mithila, especially those in Delhi, will demand and deserve proper representation, not as a “vote bank” but as a thriving, dynamic community with a vision for their future.

6. The Promise of a Better Future for Mithila

Through this election, we will not just fight for political power; we will fight for an identity that has been marginalized for far too long. Our victory will mark the beginning of a new era for Mithila, where the cultural richness and history of the region are acknowledged and where we will have the autonomy to bring about the development and recognition Mithila truly deserves.

• Economic Development: With statehood, Mithila will be able to harness its resources for the benefit of its people, bringing development, education, and infrastructure to its rightful place.
• Cultural Renaissance: We will ensure the rich cultural heritage of Mithila is preserved, promoted, and celebrated, while simultaneously bringing it to the forefront of national politics.
• Political Empowerment: Our movement will not just empower Mithila but also inspire the people of Bihar and the rest of India to recognize and respect the diversity that makes India great.
