Tejashwi promises ‘adequate tickets’ for Kushwahas in Bihar polls

The Hindu  

To keep the Kushwaha vote bank intact, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday said the party will give “adequate number of tickets” to leaders from the Kushwaha community in the Bihar Assembly election next year. Mr. Yadav said the RJD has given “proper respect and maximum tickets” to the community during the 2024 Lok Sabha election. There is no question of not getting proper representation for the Kushwaha community in the society,” Mr. Yadav said at a function honouring the legacy of the late socialist leader Jagdeo Prasad. You all can trust that in the next Assembly election, RJD will give adequate tickets to the community,” Mr. Yadav said in the presence of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad. Mr. Yadav said “one can understand the respect the RJD has towards the community” after it made Abhay Kushwaha, who was earlier with the Janata Dal but switched sides before the Lok Sabha election, the leader of the party in the Lok Sabha.
