In a big Bihar development, Tejashwi Yadav supports independent Ravi Paswan for the Mohania Assembly seat. The move came after RJD candidate Shweta Suman lost her nomination due to issues with her caste certificate. With no RJD candidate left, Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav quickly decided to back Ravi Paswan.
Tejashwi Yadav supports independent Ravi Paswan to keep his party’s hold in the region strong. Ravi is the son of former BJP MP and Bihar minister Chhedi Paswan. Chhedi had earlier represented the Sasaram and Mohania seats. Ravi had also contested the 2015 Assembly election from Mohania on a Samajwadi Party ticket.
RJD’s support to Ravi has surprised many political circles in Bihar. This alliance shows a new strategy by Tejashwi Yadav to balance political power after Shweta’s disqualification. A picture of Tejashwi meeting Ravi Paswan has already gone viral, confirming the support.
