RJD's Mohan Prasad Gupta was defeated by BJP candidate Kusum Devi with a margin of 1,794 votes in the Gopalganj constituency despite taking an early lead and witnessing a neck-and-neck fight.

“In Gopalganj, where we used to lose by a margin of 40,000 votes in 2020, we lost only by 1,794 votes this time, despite them (BJP) having sympathy factor. We've made a dent in BJP's core votes. Next time, we'll lead by 20,000 votes,” said Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav.
