Assembly Election 2020

Bihar

Tejashwi Prasad Yadav

Age : 31
Gender : M

WON

The former deputy chief minister of the state is contesting from the Raghopur seat. Tejashwi is now the Mahagathbandhan’s CM nominee. In 2015, he defeated the then BJP leader Satish Kumar from the constituency. The seat is considered as the Rashtriya Janta Dal’s stronghold. Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabdi Devi both represented the constituency in the state assembly from 1995 to 2010. Besides the offer of government jobs, Tejashwi has been promising pay parity to over five lakh contract teachers. He has also assured aanganwadi and ASHA workers of a raise in salary. After its experiment to generously hand out seats to alliance partners and contest on only 19 seats in the state in last year’s Lok Sabha elections flopped, the RJD has decided to not concede much ground in the Assembly elections this year. The party is contesting on 144 seats, leaving 70 seats for the Congress and 29 for the three Left parties.
