Tejashwi Yadav becomes more active in Bihar politics after byelection setback

Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, has increased his involvement in Bihar politics following a poor performance in the Bankipore Assembly byelection. On August 19, 2026, Yadav led the RJD's 'Lok Bhavan March,' a significant protest against the state government, highlighting concerns such as alleged police violence during student protests and examination paper leaks. This marked the first such large-scale protest by the RJD in over a decade. Yadav's activism includes organizing various yatras (processions) and engaging in direct political actions, including facing police water cannons during the march. Critics previously claimed Yadav was passive, relying mainly on press conferences and social media, but his recent efforts suggest a shift toward more visible grassroots engagement.
