News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Before the Bihar Assembly Elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and his son Tejashwi Yadav have started preparing a strong team for the party’s organization and forming a strong team for the election battlefield. Keeping in mind the upcoming elections, the RJD is preparing to enter the field with a new strategy and new faces, and some prominent leaders can get important responsibilities in this reshuffle. According to media reports, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav are now giving preference to leaders who are not only loyal to the party but also hold on the ground level. In this new ‘Lalu-Tejasvi team’, names like Sudhakar Singh and Abhay Kushwaha are being speculated. Sudhakar Singh, who has been in the discussion about the resignation from the first ministerial post and the rhetoric against the government as the Minister of Agriculture, can get significant responsibility again, which shows that the party still considers him important. Similarly, Abhay Kushwaha is an emerging youth leader who is also likely to be given a big role in the party. This team change will not only promote the youth leadership, but also indicates that the party wants to strengthen its grip on ethnic equations and old formulas of social justice as well as development and administrative issues. The RJD wants to ensure that its organization is strong to the ground level so that it can compete with the anti-incumbency in the upcoming election and win the maximum seats. It will be interesting to see whether this new team of Lalu-Tejasvi Yadav can bring the expected results for the party and whether they are able to fight the coalition of the Janata Dal (United) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Nitish Kumar. The politics of Bihar has always been dynamic, and this internal change will work to fill a new energy within the party before elections.
