SaralnamaMaheshwar Yadav, a four-time MLA from Gaighat, and his son Prabhat Kumar joined the RJD on in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. They took RJD membership in the presence of Tejashwi Yadav. Earlier that day, JD(U) expelled Yadav, Kumar, and three others for anti-party activities. The move came after a scuffle between Kumar and JD(U) candidate Komal Singh at a party event. Yadav's switch to RJD may change the electoral equation in Gaighat, where Yadav, Brahmin, and Kurmi voters play a decisive role. To join the RJD, supporters can contact their local party office.
