Bihar Elections: RJD Fields Shahabuddin’s Son, Draws Fire

The political landscape in Bihar is heating up as the RJD nominated Osama Shahab, son of the notorious former MP Mohammed Shahabuddin, for the Raghunathpur seat in Siwan. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath publicly denounced this nomination at a recent rally, using the phrase ‘Jaisa Naam, Waisa Kaam’ to question the candidate’s suitability. This political maneuver has sparked debate, with critics pointing to the criminal history of the late Mohammed Shahabuddin. The upcoming elections are witnessing intense campaigning, where such controversial nominations become focal points of public discourse. The RJD’s strategy in fielding candidates with significant past associations is a key talking point across various constituencies.
