“It is for the party to accept the last call,” Mr. Kishhor said about his own candidacy. Later he started the JSP campaign from Raghopur in the Vaisali district, a headquarters that the existing MLA, Tejashwi Yadav of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) held two consecutive conditions, 2015 and 2020.
“It is at the party to decide, but I would like to attack Tejashwi Yadav of Raghopur,” Kishhor said earlier.
While Mr. Yadav, who is also the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, has so far declared where he will compete, sources in the RJD said it would most likely be Raghopur.
The Raghopur election district, about 35 km from Patna, is a dominant feature of the RJD with Yadav control for several years. The election district also has a significant population of paradutes with the upper caste. The head of RJD Lalu Prasad and his wife and former chief Minister Rabri Devi also represented Raghopura in the past.
