Saralnama110 seats were won by the Bihar Mahagathbandhan in 2020 under Tejashwi Yadav's leadership. The alliance has now named him its chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming elections. Tejashwi, 34, has grown as a leader since his first stint as Deputy CM in 2015. He promises 200 free power units and ₹2,500 monthly to women if elected. The RJD leader faces challenges in expanding his party's social base beyond Muslims and Yadavs. He aims to counter the NDA's 'jungle raj' claims by focusing on jobs and citing crime data from Nitish Kumar's rule. Tejashwi remains the only officially declared CM candidate in Bihar so far. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 06:21 IST; source: link)
