News India Live, Digital Desk: The hustle and bustle of Bihar Assembly elections 2025 is continuously increasing, and in this electoral battle, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)’s strong leader and young heartthrob Tejashwi Yadav has filed his nomination. As always, he has contested the elections from his traditional Raghopur assembly seat. This seat falls in Vaishali district and for the last two consecutive times, Tejashwi has been hoisting the flag of victory on this seat. This time his eyes are on a hat-trick of victory!
Tejashwi’s roar from Lalu’s stronghold Raghopur:
Raghopur area of Vaishali district, which has been a stronghold of Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family for decades, is once again seen in election colours. Tejashwi Yadav filed his nomination papers from Raghopur assembly constituency on Tuesday, October 15, 2025. During this time, many senior RJD leaders and thousands of supporters were present with him. The election temperature has further increased with the nomination of Tejashwi Yadav.
Tejashwi will have his third consecutive contest on the Raghopur seat. He has won this seat by a huge margin in the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections. This seat is considered the ‘traditional fort of Lalu family’, where the voters have always expressed confidence in the leadership of RJD. This nomination paper of Tejashwi is an important part of the preparations for Bihar Assembly elections 2025.
Family members gave blessings:
Before filing nomination, Tejashwi Yadav met his parents, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi and sought their blessings. ‘Role of family’ has always been important in RJD’s politics and this moment shows the unity of the family. Raghopur assembly elections are very important for Tejashwi.
Historical seat of Rabri Devi:
The history of Raghopur seat is deeply linked to the Lalu family. Rabri Devi has been MLA from this seat twice before becoming the Chief Minister. Later, as the son of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, Tejashwi carried forward this legacy and proved himself to be a strong contender from this seat. This ‘importance of Raghopur assembly seat’ has always been big in the politics of Bihar.
Tejashwi’s challenge to the opposition:
Tejashwi Yadav’s filing of nomination from Raghopur not only shows his personal strong claim, but also shows the strength of the leadership of the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar. They have been continuously cornering the Nitish government and challenging the government on issues like unemployment, education and health. Now in this election, it will be interesting to see whether Tejashwi is able to score a hat-trick of victories from Raghopur and further strengthen his image as ‘the youth leader in Bihar’ or not. This will be the biggest highlight of ‘Bihar Assembly Elections’.
