RJD Considers Leadership Change with Tejashwi Yadav's Role Set to Expand

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is considering a leadership transition as party founder Lalu Prasad Yadav, facing health challenges, may step down after 28 years. A special meeting on January 25 is expected to decide whether Tejashwi Yadav will be appointed national president or national working president. Despite internal family tensions, the party supports elevating Tejashwi, who already handles major decisions. Following a significant electoral loss, RJD plans to shift strategy by increasing public engagement ahead of future polls.
