Saralnama29-year-old Rajneesh Yadav will contest the Kahalgaon assembly seat for RJD in the 2025 elections. The London MBA graduate is the son of Jharkhand minister Sanjay Yadav. He faces Shubhanand Mukesh of JD(U), son of late Congress leader Sadanand Singh. Congress lost its traditional stronghold after political negotiations. RJD's move creates a new equation in Kahalgaon politics. The seat will see a direct contest between RJD and JD(U). Jan Suraj fielded Manzar Alam, while JD(U) MP Ajay Mandal's brother Anuj Mandal is contesting as an independent. Political analysts believe this may harm the NDA candidate's prospects. The outcome remains uncertain as Kahalgaon voters decide their representative. (Updated 17 Oct 2025, 12:13 IST; source: link)
