Sardar Krishna, full name Sardar Krishna Nandan Singh, was a three-term Sikh Bhumihar MLA from Arwal who had adopted Sikhism in his early years. Such was his popularity in the South Bihar region that he contested Bihar Legislative Assembly elections as an independent, without being affiliated with any political party, and still won three terms—not from his native Patna district, but from the neighbouring district of Arwal. | |||
He originally belonged to the village of Akhtiyarpur in Paliganj Block, Patna district. | |||
Apart from his political career, he was more widely known for founding the Brahmarshi Sena, an armed outfit that served the interests of Bhumihars, more than a decade before the Ranvir Sena was formed. | |||
He and his outfit were responsible for thwarting left-wing Naxalite penetration into Patna district for years. | |||
