Bhola Singh (3 January 1939 – 19 October 2018) was an Indian politician. He was a member of the Indian Parliament and represented Begusarai (Lok Sabha constituency) which he won on a ticket from the BJP. Before joining the BJP he had been part of almost every political party in Bihar including the Communist Party, the Indian National Congress, and the Rashtriya Janata Dal. Before getting elected to the Indian Parliament he was the Urban Development Minister of Bihar. He was the Deputy Speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly from 2000 to 2005. He was a professor in History before getting elected from Begusarai in 1967 as an independent candidate.[2]
Starting his political career in the late 1960s, he has been elected as member of the state legislative assembly from the Begusarai assembly seat eight times since 1967.[3] His only electoral venture outside the district was in 2009 when he successfully contested the general election from Nawada as a BJP nominee.[3]
