Raghopur, October 15

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Wednesday filed his nomination from Raghopur assembly constituency ahead of assembly elections.

The RJD leader's parents and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi were also present.

"Everything is fine in the Mahagathbandhan, there are no ifs or buts, no conflicts. The Mahagathbandhan is united and is fighting the elections strongly. With immense public support and the blessings of the people, a Tejashwi government is going to be formed in Bihar," he said.

Tiwari further added, "This is the farewell of the NDA. Upendra Kushwaha has also said that something is not right somewhere, Jitan Ram Manjhi is upset, Nitish Kumar is upset. NDA now stands for 'Naiya Doobegi Abki Baar'....Now, Bihar wants a Tejashwi government."

Earlier in the day, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha filed his nomination from Lakhisarai. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta were also present.

The Janata Dal (United) released its first list of 57 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, according to an official statement from the party.

According to the release, the list of candidates for Janata Dal (U) in the first phase of the Bihar Legislative Assembly Elections 2025 has been approved by the party's National President, Nitish Kumar.

The party approved JDU state chief Umesh Khushwaha for Mahanar, Minister for Rural Development of Bihar, Shravan Kumar for Nalanda, Sunil Kumar for Bhore (SC), among others, for the Bihar Assembly elections.

The polling for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly is scheduled to take place on November 6 and November 11, and votes will be counted on November 14.

While the National Democratic Alliance has decided on seat distribution among its constituents for the Bihar polls, the Mahagathbandhan is yet to do so. Meetings are being held among Mahagathbandhan partners to reach a mutually acceptable formula for seat distribution.

Lalu-Rabri presence shows this is still family politics. Bihar needs leaders who rise through merit, not just political lineage. Let's see if Tejashwi can prove himself beyond his surname.

NDA's internal conflicts are showing! "Naiya Doobegi Abki Baar" seems accurate given how allies are unhappy. Mahagathbandhan appears more united this time. Exciting election ahead! 🔥

As someone who has worked in Bihar's development sector, I hope whoever wins focuses on education and healthcare infrastructure. That's what Bihar truly needs right now.

Raghopur has been Yadav family's stronghold for years. Interesting to see if Tejashwi can maintain the legacy. His performance as opposition leader was quite impressive though!

The seat distribution drama continues. Mahagathbandhan needs to finalize their formula quickly. Last-minute alliances often create confusion among voters. Hope they announce it soon!
