Former MP Shahabuddin's wife and son join in RJD, as party eyes Muslim votes
In Patna, Bihar, wife and son of former Member of Parliament, late Shahabuddin, Hena Sahab and Osama join RJD in the presence of party chief Lalu Yadav. Bihar's former deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also remained present.
The joining comes ahead of crucial Bihar state election and the fact that RJD would not want its vote bank to be divided across the state.
The Bihar politics in any case has become far more competitive with the entry of Prashant Kishore, the former electoral strategist who floated a political party by the name of Jan Suraaj Party.
BJP and JDU also appear quite strong in the election and thus the prospects for RJD is that much more difficult.
