NEW DELHI: Lalu Prasad Yadav was not on the ballot in the 2025 Bihar elections. His health is fragile, his legal battles continue and under his son Tejashwi Yadav 's leadership, their party RJD delivered one of its worst performances and was leading in just 25 seats. Lalu was far away from rallies and campaigns, yet across Bihar's political battleground, one truth remains unchanged: Lalu remains relevant even today in the state politics. The shadow of ' jungle raj ' Lalu’s tenure as chief minister in the 1990s continues to define Bihar’s electoral narrative. For critics, especially within the NDA, that era remains shorthand for jungle raj — a period associated with lawlessness, gang violence and administrative collapse.
