Hena Shahab, wife of late former MP Mohammad Shahabuddin, was suggested by some RJD leaders for the Rajya Sabha seat. RJD leader Bhai Virendra reportedly supported her candidature and said it could strengthen opposition unity.

However, AIMIM’s Bihar president Akhtarul Iman said the party expects proper representation in the Rajya Sabha elections. He urged the RJD-led alliance to support an AIMIM nominee instead.

Bihar will see elections for multiple Rajya Sabha seats soon. Political parties are now finalising their strategies and candidates.

This disagreement has created fresh political discussions within the opposition alliance ahead of the polls.

RJD recently faced a disappointing performance in the Bihar Assembly elections. The poor result triggered anger among party workers and exposed deep internal differences. Several leaders openly blamed each other for the defeat, which weakened party unity.

Sources say Tejashwi may take tough action against leaders accused of sabotaging the party during elections. Many district-level leaders and office bearers are under scrutiny. Some may lose their posts if allegations are proven.

The party may also see organisational changes. Senior leaders who remained inactive could be replaced by younger and more active workers. RJD wants to strengthen its structure before upcoming local body and future assembly elections.

Tejashwi is also expected to hold meetings with senior leaders to rebuild trust and improve coordination. His focus will likely remain on discipline, unity, and public outreach.

Political observers believe the coming weeks will be crucial for RJD’s future direction in Bihar.

Party workers allege they were ignored throughout the campaign. Officials say outsiders with little influence were given tickets, while loyal workers were sidelined. Several candidates also complained that they received almost no support from district and state units.

Many leaders say meeting the party chief became difficult. Workers waited for days outside his office, and even the guard argued with them. Those who managed to meet the leader were not allowed to speak to him privately.

The survey used to select candidates triggered more anger. Some local leaders are accused of manipulating the survey in their favor. Sources say the state leadership is shocked by these complaints and now struggles to decide whom to take action against.

Despite the confusion, one point is clear: strict action will be taken against those who failed to support party candidates.

RJD has started division-wise meetings in Patna. On Wednesday, candidates from the Magadh division presented detailed written reports about their constituencies. Senior leaders such as state RJD president Mangani Lal Mandal, Abdulbari Siddiqui, and Bhola Yadav attended the session.

Many candidates have named party members who supported opposition parties instead of the RJD. Because of this internal sabotage, the Grand Alliance suffered major losses. Meetings for other divisions, including Saran and Purnia, are scheduled next.

After December 4, the second phase of the review will take place from December 5 to 9. District presidents, state officials, and the general secretary will participate.

Party leaders whose names appear in the list will be questioned. If their answers are unsatisfactory, they may face suspension or expulsion. RJD leaders are also sharing suggestions on future strategy, public issues, and party reforms.

Ritu Jaiswal wanted to contest from Parihar on the RJD symbol. But the party gave the symbol to Smita Purve, daughter-in-law of Ramchandra Purve. Ritu Jaiswal rebelled and contested as an independent candidate. She came second, while the official RJD candidate slipped to third.

Jaiswal also attacked the party for issuing notices to YouTubers and singers. She said the same party that failed to act against its rebel MLAs was now threatening online creators. According to her, viral songs featuring RJD flags, banners, and Tejashwi Yadav’s photos damaged the party’s image during the Bihar elections.

RJD leaders believe these songs helped the opposition. They say several artists used RJD symbols without permission. The party served legal notices to 32 creators, claiming the content defamed RJD and influenced voters.

In ticket distribution, younger leaders will be prioritized, while several seniors may be sidelined. Party leaders stress that if RJD forms the government, it will focus on aspirations, jobs, and opportunities for the younger generation.

This strategy is linked to Tejashwi Yadav’s growing influence. Since becoming the party’s central figure, he has energized the cadre with sharp speeches and assertive campaigns. His appeal among young voters has boosted participation in rallies and organizational work.

To strengthen the youth connect, RJD has launched campaigns like Yuva Chaupal and Yuva Parliament. These programs, conducted in villages, schools, and district centers, directly involve young voters in politics.

State RJD chief Rajesh Yadav said youth would play a decisive role this time. With a stronger youth network and targeted programs, the party is confident its strategy of empowering younger candidates will translate into major electoral success in Bihar elections.
