Patna, October 11 (IANS) As Bihar Assembly elections are approaching, political activities have also intensified in the state. On Saturday, RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav visited the residence of former party state unit president Jagdanand Singh in Kautilya Nagar, Patna.
There was a closed-door meeting between the two leaders for about 40 minutes.
Every meeting matters in the political circles of Bihar and it is being seen as an important development.
According to sources, Tejashwi Yadav had a detailed discussion with Jagdanand Singh on ticket distribution, coordination of seats and caste balance for the upcoming assembly elections.
Jagdanand Singh, known for his deep organizational experience and as one of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s most trusted aides, has been playing an important advisory role within the RJD.
Party insiders believe that his inputs will be crucial in finalizing the candidates in several constituencies, especially in the Shahabad region. Jagdanand Singh has deep knowledge of the caste equation of the districts of Rohtas, Kaimur, Buxar, Bhojpur and Magadh divisions.
His son Sudhakar Singh is a Lok Sabha MP from Buxar. Jagadanand Singh is a native of Bihar’s Kaimur district.
After the meeting, Tejashwi Yadav avoided questions from the media and chose not to comment on the discussion.
RJD is currently in the middle of intense deliberations on ticket allocation, with Tejashwi Yadav meeting senior leaders to ensure unity and strategic coordination ahead of the elections.
Jagdanand Singh’s suggestions on seat sharing are considered very important for RJD and Tejashwi Yadav.
Analysts suggest that his meeting with Jagadanand Singh may also be aimed at resolving the internal differences that have emerged within the party in recent months.
Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases – first on November 6 and second on November 11. Counting of votes will take place on November 14.
