Bihar Bahubali Anant Singh: The Controversial Strongman of Mokama Politics

Nov 02, 2025 03:51 pm CST

Anant Kumar Singh, known as "Chhote Sarkar," is a powerful political figure from Bihar's Mokama constituency with a complex legacy. Despite facing 28 criminal cases including murder charges, this five-time MLA maintains firm control over local politics regardless of party affiliation. Recently arrested for alleged involvement in Dular Singh Yadav's murder, Singh's case highlights the persistent criminalization in Bihar politics, where his substantial wealth, cult-like following, and shifting political allegiances demonstrate how strongmen continue to dominate regional power structures.
