With the preparations for the Bihar assembly elections underway, a new twist has unfolded in the political landscape. Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, has released a list of candidates from his party, Jan Shakti Janta Dal. Highlighting the declaration, Tej Pratap announced he would contest from the Mahua assembly seat.
This decision has caused a stir in political corridors, especially since Mahua is the seat from which Tej Pratap previously served as an MLA. The Jan Shakti Janta Dal's candidate list prominently features a mix of fresh and young faces. The party claims it will contest elections focusing on issues concerning the public.

Political analysts suggest that Tej Pratap Yadav's move is not only a challenge for RJD but can also impact the electoral equations in Bihar. Notably, Mahua is where Tej initially entered politics, winning as an MLA in 2015. With the release of Jan Shakti Janta Dal's new list, a fresh political equation seems to be emerging in Bihar. Tej Pratap, choosing a path distinct from RJD, has sparked discussion among political circles as the contest is set to become intriguing not only in Mahua but also within the Yadav vote bank.
