Renu Kushwaha Joins RJD, Signals Shift in Political Allegiances
The recent induction of Renu Kushwaha into the RJD marks a significant development. This move is widely seen as a strategic attempt by Yadav to consolidate support from the Kushwaha community and other smaller castes, potentially weakening Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s hold on power.
Yadav Aims to Build Broad Coalition for 2025 Bihar Polls
With the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections on the horizon, Yadav is focusing on building a powerful and diverse coalition. By appealing to various caste groups, including the Kushwahas, he aims to create a formidable challenge to Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and its allies.
This strategic maneuvering highlights the importance of caste dynamics in Bihar politics and sets the stage for an intense electoral battle in the coming years.
