Nagri and Magarlod development blocks are included in Sihawa assembly. Magarlod development block is considered a stronghold of Congress. Till now BJP has won the elections twice. In this assembly, MLAs are elected from Sihawa, urban area only. This time, former BJP MLA Shravan Markam, who hails from Sihawa, and former Congress MLA Ambika Markam have been given tickets. But with the election of EE Jeevarakhan Lal Marai, who holds a social position in Sihawa, Nagari tribal area and retired from the RES department, as the candidate from Hamar Raj Party, the calculations of BJP and Congress have been disturbed.
