Patna: The process of organisational elections is underway in the RJD's own party, the main partner in power in Bihar. Under this, in the RJD office on Monday, the current state president Jagdanand Singh filed his nomination for the post again after the end of his term, whose proposer was Tejashwi Yadav. It is being said that no one stood up against Jagdanand for the state president's post. This means that Jagdanand has been elected unopposed. It will be formally announced on Tuesday.
On Jagdanand Singh, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said he is a senior leader of the party. He is a socialist and under his leadership, the party has become strong. Tejashwi credited Jagdanand for the RJD's better performance in the 2020 assembly elections. Tejashwi said Jagdanand had subsisted new life into the party. Jagdanand, by the way, remains a constant choice of RJD supremo Lalu Yadav. Jagdanand Singh always stood with Lalu like a shadow from the beginning till the break-up of the Janata Dal to the formation of the RJD. After Lalu's jail, when the party's bad phase came, he continued to stand with the party. Jagdanand also stood firmly with Lalu's decision to form a grand alliance in Bihar politics, due to which the party came to power.
In the last 2020 elections, Jagdanand did all the major work of the party's decisions, the election of candidates and strategy making. Jagdanand Singh had chosen the RJD as the first of the party and his son. The RJD wanted to field Jagdanand Singh's son Sudhakar Singh from the Ramgarh assembly constituency in the 2010 assembly polls, but Jagdanand Singh denied the ticket saying it would promote nepotism.
