Tejashwi's Bihar Test: Can He Overcome 'Jungle Raj' Legacy & Alliance Cracks?

This special report focuses on a major crisis within Bihar's Mahagathbandhan, with the mass resignation of 50 RJD leaders from the extremely backward cell in Darbhanga, and a SWOT analysis of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. A resigning leader stated, 'Tejashwi Prasad Yadav ji hamesha man se kaha karte the ke jiski jitni hissedari uski utni bhagidari milegi' ('Tejashwi Prasad Yadav always used to say from the stage that the share one gets will be proportional to their stake'). The bulletin examines the allegations that the RJD has neglected the Extremely Backward Classes (EBC), with claims that no candidate from the community was given a ticket in Darbhanga in 28 years. The programme also breaks down Tejashwi Yadav's political strengths, such as his youth connect and focus on employment, against weaknesses like the lingering 'Jungle Raj' legacy and a weak party organization compared to the BJP.
