On the last day of filing nominations for the Bihar Assembly elections 2025, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) officially released its first list of 143 candidates, covering 38 districts across the state.
The list features several high-profile names, including Tejashwi Yadav, who will once again contest from his traditional Raghopur seat. The party’s candidate lineup reflects a clear emphasis on the Backward Classes and minorities, consistent with the RJD’s long-standing social justice plank.
In a notable move, Bhojpuri singer and actor Khesari Lal Yadav has been fielded from the Chhapra constituency, marking his formal entry into electoral politics.
Other prominent candidates include Renu Kushwaha from Bihariganj, Abdus Subhan from Baisi, Amar Paswan from Bochahan, Anita Devi Mahto from W
