Though Mahendar Prasad Singh began his career as an anti-electoralist guerrilla leader of Lal Sena, he later retracted those views and was elected to the Bihar Assembly. Seemingly due to his electoralist turn, he was shot and killed in Bagodar by Maoist fighters on 16 January 2005.[4][5][6] At the time of legislative election he was campaigning for the fourth term when he was killed.[7][8][9][10]
