Suman represents the Gopalganj Lok Sabha constituency, a reserved (Scheduled Caste) seat located in the western part of Bihar bordering Uttar Pradesh. The constituency comprises six assembly segments and has historically been contested between candidates of the Janata Dal (United), the Rashtriya Janata Dal, and other regional formations.
He entered the Lok Sabha following the 2019 Indian general election, in which the Janata Dal (United) contested in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Lok Janshakti Party in Bihar. As a member of the 17th Lok Sabha, his tenure ran from 2019 until the dissolution of the house ahead of the 2024 general election.
Suman's election reflects the alliance arithmetic of Bihar politics, where the Janata Dal (United) under Nitish Kumar has held a substantial share of the state's parliamentary seats through coalition arrangements. His representation of a Scheduled Caste reserved constituency is part of the broader pattern of SC representation guaranteed under Article 330 of the Constitution of India.
