Tejashwi Proposes Merging Party with RJD, Pashupati Calls Emergency Meeting | ABP News

In a significant turn of events for Bihar politics and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), three major developments have reshaped the party’s electoral strategy ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections. Ashok Mahto, known for his strongman image, was stopped outside Rabri Devi’s residence, signaling internal party assertiveness. Former JDU MLA Rahul Sharma from Magadh joined the RJD, strengthening the party’s outreach in key constituencies. Additionally, former MP Santosh Kushwaha from the Kushwaha community was inducted, highlighting RJD’s renewed focus on caste-based political consolidation. These moves indicate that Tejashwi Yadav is actively recalibrating the party’s approach, blending caste dynamics with broader electoral strategy to bolster RJD’s position in Bihar.
