In the lead-up to the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, the Mahagathbandhan alliance has yet to finalize seat-sharing agreements. However, RJD Supremo Lalu Yadav has already allocated party tickets to several candidates. In a significant development, Lalu Yadav has given a key ticket to Osama Shahab, the son of the late Shahabuddin, for the Raghunathpur assembly seat.
Osama’s mother, Hina Shahab, had been advocating for the Raghunathpur seat well in advance of the elections. She met with Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav multiple times, proposing Osama as the candidate for this traditional constituency. Ultimately, the party heeded her request and awarded Osama the ticket for Raghunathpur.
Harishankar Yadav, the current MLA from Raghunathpur, stepped aside to support Osama Shahab in this election. Harishankar had defeated BJP’s Manoj Kumar Singh in the 2020 elections with 67,757 votes to Manoj’s 49,792, showing strong influence in the region.
Osama Shahab hails from Siwan. After completing his initial education in Siwan, he moved to Delhi and finished his 12th grade at GD Goenka School. He later pursued further studies in London, earning an LLB degree. Osama married Aysha from Siwan in 2021 and has since been actively involved in Bihar politics.
Besides Osama Shahab, RJD Supremo Lalu Yadav has reiterated his faith in Awadh Bihari Chaudhary by giving him the ticket for the Siwan assembly constituency once again.
These ticket announcements signal RJD’s efforts to strengthen its foothold in key constituencies ahead of the 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections. The party’s choice of candidates like Osama Shahab and Awadh Bihari Chaudhary reflects its strategy to consolidate support and leverage influential local leaders.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has finally ended the suspense by awarding the ticket to Awadh Bihari Chaudhary for the upcoming Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. This announcement is significant as it confirms Awadh Bihari’s candidacy from the Siwan constituency, a crucial seat for RJD in the political landscape of Bihar.
Awadh Bihari Chaudhary is a well-known political figure with a strong influence in Siwan and surrounding regions. His nomination reflects RJD’s confidence in his leadership and popularity among voters. This decision comes after much speculation and anticipation within political circles and among the local electorate.
RJD’s move to select Awadh Bihari also highlights the party’s strategy to rely on experienced leaders who have a proven track record in elections. His previous contributions to the party and his connection with the grassroots make him an ideal choice to contest from Siwan.
The ticket allocation is part of RJD’s broader plan to consolidate its presence in the 2025 elections by fielding candidates who can secure decisive victories. Awadh Bihari’s candidature is expected to galvanize the party’s supporters and strengthen its vote base in the region.
This announcement will play a key role in shaping the electoral battle in Siwan, particularly against rival candidates from other prominent parties. RJD aims to leverage Awadh Bihari’s influence to maximize its seat tally and challenge the ruling coalition’s dominance in Bihar.
The party leadership, including RJD Supremo lalu yadav and Chief Minister designate tejashwi yadav are likely to back Awadh Bihari vigorously as the elections approach, emphasizing his importance in their campaign strategy.
Overall, the confirmation of Awadh Bihari Chaudhary as the RJD candidate is a pivotal development in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, signaling the party’s focused effort to retain key constituencies and strengthen its political position ahead of the polls.
