पटना में इस बार के लोकसभा चुनाव में कई आईएएस और आईपीएस अपनी किस्मत आजमा रहे हैं, जिनमें से एक हैं आनंद मिश्रा। उन्होंने नौकरी से इस्तीफा देकर बक्सर लोकसभा सीट से निर्दलीय चुनाव लड़ने का फैसला किया है। उन्होंने लगातार जन प्रचार किया है और उनके सोशल मीडिया पोस्ट्स भी वायरल हो रहे हैं। उन्होंने बीजेपी उम्मीदवार पर निशाना साधते हुए कहा कि उन्हें अर्बन नक्सल कहकर अपमानित किया जा रहा है। उन्हें पिछले 6 चुनावों में ब्राह्मण प्रत्याशियों ने जीता है।
