Nepotism is once again in the spotlight in Bihar Jharkhand politics nepotism. Rajneesh Yadav, son of Jharkhand minister Sanjay Yadav, is preparing to contest from the Kahalgaon seat in Bihar. His uncle, Manoj Yadav, is already a JDU MLA from Banka. This shows how family influence is shaping political chances in the region.
Rajneesh Yadav is eyeing a Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) ticket. His father holds an important post in Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand government, while his uncle has a strong base in Banka. Now, Rajneesh is trying to establish his own identity in Bhagalpur district.
Kahalgaon has long been considered a Congress stronghold, led for years by veteran leader Sadanand Singh. In 2020, his son lost the seat to BJP’s Pawan Kumar Yadav. Congress is now banking on Praveen Kushwaha, while RJD may support Rajneesh to expand its influence.
The case of Rajneesh Yadav highlights how Bihar Jharkhand politics nepotism continues, with political families passing on power to the next generation. Despite public criticism, dynastic politics remains deeply rooted in the system.
