It has been a short but bumpy ride Anand Mishra 2011 batch IPS Resigned, moved into politics first time. A “student” RSS Now firmly on the ground, Mishra has launched an intensive campaign in Buxar Assembly constituency as a independent candidate Carrying his signature Royal Enfield Bullet, his most trustworthy companion on the dusty streets of the village.
His entry makes Buxar’s campaign interesting, though it seems like a fight between BJP’s Mithilesh Tiwari and RJD’s Sudhakar Singh is slowly unfolding.

Before Mishra, another IPS officer and the former Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey faced a similar situation in Buxar and he resigned twice on the hope of getting Tickets, but it never happened. Eventually, he was tired of trying to be a politician and decided to be a religious preacher for the last four years.
Pandey launched his political career by resigning as an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer in 2009 with an expectation that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would offer him a ticket from Buxar Lok Sabha seat. On failing to get one, however, he returned back to the police force.
During the assembly elections held in 2020, Pandey again had to retire from voluntary services so as to join CM Nitish Kumar’s JD(U). He had wished to stand for Buxar Assembly seat but unfortunately it was taken over by Bharatiya Janata Party under NDA alliance while National Party refused him a ticket.
