CPI-ML MLA Rambali Singh Yadav announced his nomination from the Ghosi assembly seat in Jehanabad, Bihar. Suspense grew after former MLA Rahul Sharma joined RJD, leaving Nitish Kumar’s JDU. Before the Grand Alliance finalized seat sharing, Rambali declared his nomination for October 16. This sparked doubts over Rahul Sharma RJD Ghosi seat and his possible candidature.
Rahul Sharma, from the Bhumihar community, became MLA in 2010 on a JDU ticket. His father, Jagdish Sharma, served eight terms from the same seat. Tejashwi Yadav brought Rahul into RJD to attract Bhumihar voters in Magadh. However, Rambali Singh Yadav of CPI(ML), an RJD ally, refuses to give up Ghosi. Now, Tejashwi must decide which seat Rahul will get.
In 2020, Rambali defeated Rahul by 17,333 votes. The Ghosi Assembly polls are in the second phase on November 11, and nominations start October 13. The final decision depends on the Grand Alliance seat-sharing announcement.
