About

In 1957, the erstwhile Patna East Lok Sabha constituency was renamed as Barh Lok Sabha. The Barh parliamentary constituency used to consist Chandi Assembly constituency as well as Harnaut Assembly constituency, both located in Nalanda district of Bihar. However, the delimitation of 2009 dissolved the Chandi Assembly constituency, which ceased to exist thereafter. The area constituting this constituency was included into Harnaut Assembly constituency and Harnaut Assembly constituency was included in the Nalanda Lok Sabha constituency seperating it from Barh.
