Event Summary

Tejashwi Yadav, son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, has been named the working president of the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal at its national executive meeting on January 25, 2026. This decision solidifies his position as the heir apparent and leader of the opposition in the India — Bihar Assembly, following the party's recent defeat in assembly polls where Tejashwi Yadav was the chief ministerial candidate. The move aims to strengthen the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal at the grassroots level and clarify the line of succession. The meeting was attended by key figures including Lalu Prasad Yadav and Misa Bharti. This elevation comes after internal family disputes, including accusations from Lalu Prasad Yadav against Tejashwi Yadav regarding the poll debacle, and the prior expulsion of Tej Pratap Yadav from the party, who subsequently formed his own outfit, India — Janshakti Janata Dal.
