Career

He was twice the member of state legislative assembly from Chatra from 2000 to 2009. He was state Drinking water, Sanitation and agriculture minister.[6][7][8]

In 2014, he joined Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) after BJP denied ticket to him from Chatra. In Jharkhand Legislative Assembly election 2019, Satyanand Bhogta was elected as M.L.A. of Chatra as RJD candidate.[9][10]

Views

In 2022, he showed his displeasure over the inclusion of Bhogta caste which was earlier in Scheduled Caste to Scheduled Tribe.[11] As he belongs to Bhogta community and he as well as people from Bhogta community will not be able to contest Chatra Assembly constituency which is reserved for Scheduled Caste.[12] According to him, it is a conspiracy against Bhogta as after inclusion in Scheduled Tribe, Bhogta people will not be able to contest Schedule Caste reserved seat and Bhogta people will not be able to win in Scheduled Tribe seat as they are minority in Scheduled Tribe reserved seat area.[11]
