He married Urmila Pandey on 19 April 1998. She is from Bhitti "Sahabuddin", "Baniyapur", Saran District. She is a housewife. They have a son named Harsh Pandey, born on 25 November 2000.

Mangal Pandey completed his secondary education in Maharajgunj, Siwan in 1987 and higher secondary education in Science from Devi Dayal High School.

Political career edit

In 1987, when Bhartiya Janta Party was picking grounds across the country, Pandey joined Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS. During this period he became involved in printing pamphlets opposing the government, staging protests and organising demonstrations. He also started going to RSS sakhas from 1988 and became a regular swayamsevak. He joined BJP in 1989 as a primary member from Maharajgunj and was made Member of working committee, Maharajgunj. In 1992, Pandey was elected working committee member of the party's Siwan unit, marking his entrance into full-time politics. He rose within the party, helping organise Shila pujan karyakram of Vishwa Hindu Parishad during 1988-89.

He was inducted in Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha state working committee in 1994. Within a short span of time, he was made in charge of Saran zone, BJYM in 1995. Pandey always stood up to expectations of party leaders and this resulted in another responsibility as State Secretary, BJYM in 1997. As state secretary, he rigorously travelled across the state and was co in charge for L. K. Advani’s Swarna Jayanti Rath Yatra during 1997-98. In 2000 he was made state president of BJYM.As, he started a campaign against the then Lalu Yadav's government "Jawab Do Hisab Do". Under this party workers used to ask for the expenses done by state government for funds allocated by then Vajpeyee's government. Failing to answer used to result in lock down of block development officers offices. This campaign was a huge success. Over 10000 BJYM karyakartas were arrested statewide. Pandey was arrested twice, first in Chapra, then in Muzzaffarpur. This gave him massive popularity across the state and party ranks.

In 2003 he was made zonal in charge, organisation and later in 2005 he was made State General Secretary, BJP. Bihar. In 2006 under the Presidency of Shri Radha Mohan Singh he was again given the responsibility of state general secretary for second time. He continued in the office for another two terms in 2008 and in 2010.

BJP State President, Bihar edit

When the whole country was getting ready for the General Elections in 2014, Pandey was given the responsibility of State President of Bihar's party unit on 18 January 2013. After joining the office, his first assignment was marked in the State Working Committee Meeting at Gaya in 2013, wherein the committee passed a resolution and officially asked the national president, Rajnath Singh to fight 2014 General Elections in leadership of Narendra Modi. The election campaign in Bihar was started by "Hunkar Rally" on 27 Oct 2013 at historical Gandhi Maidan where a head count of more than seven lakh people was recorded. While rally was proceeding, a serial blast took place killing 6 and injuring 108 people. The party won in 2014 General Election and the NDA won 31 out of 40 seats in Bihar. Failure in Bihar assembly elections is a major setback in Pandey's political career.

Inter-state Politics edit

After becoming the state president, Pandey tried gathering political support from the Biharis staying in different parts of the country. He frequently visits states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Karnataka and many others for political support. He made "Pravasi Bihari Prakosth" in states with significant Bihari population.[citation needed] It is supposed to act as a bridge between natives and immigrants of state.

Controversy edit

On 14 April 2021, a retired soldier suffering from Covid died without any treatment at a hospital in Bihar, as the hospital authorities were busy preparing for the visit of the state health minister Mangal Pandey. The patient named Vinod Singh, died in the vehicle he was brought to the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH). The authorities did not admit him despite his family's repeated requests.[1]
