About Sikti Assembly Constituency edit

The Sikti Assembly constituency of Araria district of Bihar, adjacent to the Nepal border, came into existence in 1977. Earlier it was in Palasi Assembly constituency. Ten elections have been held here since it came into existence in 1977. Of these, Congress and BJP have been successful three times, independents twice, Janata Dal and Janata Dal United once each. Having a strong hold in this field, Mr. Azimuddin became the MLA here five times in 1962, 1967, 1969, 1972 and 1980 respectively and became a minister four times. He has worked in the Chief Minister's cabinet like Harihar Prasad, Mahamaya Prasad, Daroga Prasad, Karpoori Thakur, Lalu Prasad. The special thing is that he won four out of five independent elections, three times from the then Palasi Vis and twice from Sikti. Congress veterans Sheetal Prasad Gupta and Rameshwar Yadav have also represented this area. At present, Vijay Kumar Mandal of BJP is the MLA. He has also been a minister in the Bihar government. After the delimitation of 2009, there were geographical and social changes in this area. After the delimitation, the Sikti Legislative Assembly included in the Kishanganj Lok Sabha was merged with the Araria Lok Sabha. Earlier, in the Sikti Vis area, apart from Sikti and Kursakanta block, all the panchayats of Tedhagach block of Kishanganj district used to come, but after the delimitation, Sikti and Kursakanta were separated from Kishanganj and added to Araria.

Problems in this area
