In a significant political announcement, Tejashwi Yadav, the working president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), declared the party's intent to broaden its reach beyond Bihar. He revealed this shift in policy at a function commemorating Karpoori Thakur's death anniversary, highlighting RJD's aim for national prominence.

Yadav urged his party to build on the foundation laid by his father, Lalu Prasad, transforming RJD into a national force. He emphasized the importance of strengthening the party to recover and thrive, despite setbacks in past Bihar assembly elections.

Criticizing the current Bihar government under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Yadav accused him of ineffective leadership. He asserted that the government has failed to deliver on electoral promises and plans to challenge the status quo, marking a potential turning point for RJD's political influence.
