Pradeep Mahto is a JDU leader and former MLA of Warisaliganj. More than a politician, he is known for his criminal activities and fighting Bhumihar criminals of area.
Pradeep had come to the limelight in 2005 when
Nitish Kumar personally gave him the ticket for Assembly Election. That had shocked many because of
Pradeep’s background. People were not expecting a leader Nitish Kumar to select an alleged gangster to fight Assembly Election.
Warisaliganj is a Bhumihar
and Kurmi dominated constituency. Pradeep Mahto is a Kurmi while Akhilesh Singh
is a Bhumihar. In the Bihar Assembly Election, 2015, Aruna Devi of the BJP - wife of Akhilesh Singh - defeated Pradeep Mahto by heavy margin. Pradeep Mahto couldn't hold even his strong areas during a rather wave election for Mahagathbandhan.
The main reason behind the decimation of Pradeep Mahto was the fact that this time Akhilesh Singh was out on bail and was available for campaigning. He managed entire election in a wonderful way.

Ashok Mahto and Pradeep Mahto
Pradeep Mahto was considered
the right hand of Ashok Mahto, the leader of the Kurmi-Yadav gang. When Ashok
Mahto was captured and sent to jail, Pradeep became the leader. Eventually, he came
close to Kaushal Yadav who recommended his name to Nitish Kumar.
Pradeep Mahto had two full terms as MLA. However, if you visit Warisaliganj constituency, you
will be surprised to note that there is not a modicum of development work going
on. The condition of the road is pathetic. Schools are in dismal condition.
The current MLA Aruna Devi of BJP has also pathetic record when it comes to development.
