Kalyanpur is an assembly constituency in Samastipur district in the Indian state of Bihar. The seat is reserved for scheduled castes.

History

In this constituency, the contest for political representation used to be in between the members of Koeri and Bhumihar caste until 2010, when the constituency was reserved for the Schedule Castes. The reservation of the constituency led to dilution of the caste based mobilisation of the candidates from the two castes. However, the political history of the constituency shows that for most of the times, this constituency has elected a legislator belonging to Koeri caste. The legislators belonging to the Koeri caste are Brahmdeo Narain Singh, Sita Sinha, Ashok Prasad Verma and Ashwamedh Devi among others. ^{[1] [2]}
