Personal life and career[edit]
Sunil Kumar was born to veteran Janata Dal (United) leader and parliamentarian Baidyanath Prasad Mahto.[3] He started his political career by winning the by election from Valmikinagr Lok Sabha constituency after the death of his father, who was the sitting member of parliament from the constituency. In 2024, he was again made the candidate of Janata Dal (United) to contest the Lok Sabha election from this constituency. He faced Deepak Yadav of Rashtriya Janata Dal. In this election, Bhojpuri singer and actor Khesari Lal Yadav and Vinay Bihari campaigned for him.[6]
Sunil was considered as a mass leader and was known for ground work and frequently visiting his constituency and his voters. In 2022, after the tragic incident of shootout at the residence of Narkatiaganj based businessman Guddu Barnwal, he announced that he could even lift the weapon to protect his people. He justified his statement by reminding his constituency that his father Baidyanath Prasad Mahto formed Gram Raksha Dal Shaheedi Jatha to take on the bandits of Champaran region in early nineties and he can trace the footprint of his father for the welfare of his people.[7]
In his first tenure as a parliamentarian, he raised the matter of National Highway no. 727, which was not completed in the span of four years causing difficulties to the people. He also pointed out that near Lauriya toll tax was being collected despite the fact that the service was not being provided to the commuters properly.[8]
