News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Election 2025: ‘Dynasty Politics’ is nothing new in the politics of Bihar, and now RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) is once again preparing to play a similar gamble. According to sources, RJD is planning to field a ‘family’ candidate from Barachatti assembly seat in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections 2025. It is reported that currently RJD has a mother as its MLA from this seat, but now the ticket can be given to her daughter. What is the whole matter? Barhachatti assembly seat, which is located in Gaya district, is currently with RJD. However, now the party is considering changing the candidate on this seat. Sources say that this time the ticket may be given to a ‘family’ face – that is, the daughter of the sitting MLA. RJD’s ‘family bet’: RJD’s intention behind this move could be to maintain its ‘family’ influence on this seat and bring forward a new, young face. However, such decisions can become a topic of discussion both inside and outside the party. Family legacy: This could be part of RJD’s strategy where they want to ensure victory by giving tickets to family members on seats under their influence. Opportunity for young face: By giving ticket to daughter, RJD may try to attract the young generation and infuse new enthusiasm into the party. Role of the current MLA: It is not clear whether the current MLA (mother) has any say in this decision. What role will it play? Will she voluntarily give up the seat for her daughter, or will there be some other pressure from the party. Stir before the elections: Keeping in view the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar, all the parties are busy making their strategy. This move of RJD can give rise to new discussions within the party and in the politics of the state. It will be interesting to see how successful this ‘family bet’ of RJD is on the Barhachatti seat and whether a similar strategy will be adopted on other seats of Bihar.
