In what could be a major shocker, RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav is reportedly trailing in Raghopur against BJP’s Satish Kumar Yadav.
According to ECI data at 11:10 am, RJD leader and Grand Alliance chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav is trailing by more than 1,000 votes in the Raghopur seat. BJP's Satish Kumar is leading in the seat.
Tejashwi Yadav is trailing by 3016 votes till the fourth round of voting. Three rounds of counting have been completed in Raghopur and over 27 rounds remain, hinting that Tejashwi’s fate could change anytime.
Tejashwi had won from Raghopur in 2015 and 2020. In 2015, RJD's Tejashwi Yadav won with approximately 91,236 votes and a majority of 22,733 votes. BJP's Satish Kumar Yadav’s run ended with 68,503 votes. In 2020, Tejashwi won again with approximately 97,404 votes, while BJP's Satish Kumar received approximately 59,230 votes.
Raghopur has been a strong Yadav stronghold for decades, and the Yadav community is considered particularly influential in the constituency. The Other Backward Classes, Muslim voters, and general-class voters play a decisive role in the region. This time, however, the entry of the Jansuraj Party has created the potential for unexpected changes in the equation by adding the face of youth and new voters.
