Tej Pratap Yadav Launches Five-Party Front to Contest Bihar Elections Independently

The alliance underscores social justice pledges to challenge the ruling BJP-JD(U) combine

Overview

  • Tej Pratap Yadav formalized a coalition of five regional parties—VVIP, BJM, PJP, WAP and SKVP—to contest the 2025 Bihar Assembly polls
  • He confirmed he will stand as an independent candidate in the Mahua constituency, which he represented until 2020
  • The new front invited the RJD and Congress to join its ranks while explicitly ruling out any alliance with the BJP or JD(U)
  • Its agenda centers on social justice, social rights and comprehensive development inspired by Lohia, Karpoori Thakur and Jayaprakash Narayan
  • The move deepens divisions within the RJD and reshapes opposition dynamics against Tejashwi Yadav’s Mahagathbandhan strategy
