RJD Leadership Transition Amid Bihar Opposition Plans
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar is thinking about changing its leader.
Lalu Prasad, who has been the leader for a long time, might step down because of his health.
Tejashwi Yadav, his son, might become the new leader.
The party is also planning to strongly oppose the current government in Bihar.
They will talk about important issues in the Assembly and protest on the streets.
Tejashwi Yadav will go on a tour after the budget session to talk to people about their problems.
The party believes their base is strong and will work on improving their strategies for the future.
RJD leaders are considering a leadership transition due to Lalu Prasad's deteriorating health.
Tejashwi Yadav is likely to be appointed as the new national president or executive president.
The decision will be finalized at a special meeting of the RJD Working Committee on 25 January.
