Demographics, Prominent Parties, Past Wins And More
Chhatapur, a general category Assembly constituency in Bihar’s Supaul district, forms part of the Supaul Lok Sabha seat and includes the Chhatapur and Basantpur community development blocks.
Over the decades, the seat has witnessed a rotation of political dominance. The Congress held sway thrice between 1969 and 1985, while the Samyukta Socialist Party, Janata Dal, and Janata Dal (United) have each won two times. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has also secured two victories, but in recent years, the BJP has consolidated its hold, winning both the 2015 and 2020 elections through Neeraj Kumar Singh.
Reflecting this trend, the BJP-led NDA has consistently maintained a strong lead in Chhatapur during parliamentary elections as well.
