This special report from India Today focuses on the electoral battleground of Mokama in Bihar, a constituency synonymous with ‘Bahubali’ politics, joblessness, and de-industrialization. The report examines the influence of jailed strongman and five-time MLA Anant Singh, who is contesting again, and the deep-rooted issues of industrial decay, marked by the shutdown of major factories like Bata and Bharat Wagon. ‘Sadly today, Mokama is associated with the names of Bahubalis and Mafia, failed industries and dreams that have died,’ the report states, capturing the despair on the ground. It explores the voter’s dilemma, caught between seeking security through caste affiliations and the youth’s desperate cry for employment and development. While women voters express satisfaction with improved law and order, the overwhelming narrative is one of economic decline and large-scale migration, questioning whether jobs will ever return to this historic region.
