लालू यादव का असली वारिस कौन ? | Tejashwi vs Tej Pratap Yadav in Bihar Election 2025

The 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections are shaping up to be a defining moment not only for the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) but also for the Yadav family’s political legacy.

The spotlight is on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s sons — Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav — as they contest from their respective constituencies, Raghopur and Mahua.

Tejashwi, the younger and politically more prominent of the two, has been the face of the RJD since Lalu’s health and legal troubles sidelined him from active politics. His leadership has revitalized the party, especially among young voters who see him as the torchbearer of a new, development-oriented RJD. Meanwhile, Tej Pratap, known for his flamboyant personality and spiritual inclinations, continues to command his loyal base but struggles to match his brother’s political influence and organizational control.

This election, however, is about more than just two brothers. It’s a test of whether the RJD can sustain unity within the family and the party while maintaining its traditional voter base amid fierce competition from the NDA. The outcome will likely determine not only who emerges as the true heir to Lalu Yadav’s political legacy but also the direction Bihar’s opposition politics takes in the coming years.

If Tejashwi strengthens his leadership with an electoral victory, it could solidify his position as Lalu’s rightful successor. But if Tej Pratap performs unexpectedly well, it may reignite internal dynamics that could redefine the balance of power within the Yadav family and the RJD itself.
