RJD chief Lalu Yadav has given an election ticket to Dr. Karishma, wife of an Election Commission officer, for the Parsa assembly seat. The party is adopting this strategy to influence young and rural voters, which will accelerate the campaign.
Patna: A new turn has emerged in Bihar politics. RJD chief Lalu Yadav has awarded an RJD ticket to Dr. Karishma, wife of Election Commission's CGST Commissioner Vijay Singh Yadav. Karishma will contest elections this time from the Parsa assembly constituency in Saran district. This decision has stirred up political circles, and now all eyes are on what its outcome will be.
What is the connection with Tej Pratap Yadav?
Dr. Karishma is Tej Pratap Yadav's sister-in-law and the granddaughter of former Chief Minister Daroga Rai. This connection is significant from both political and social perspectives. Karishma stated on social media that she did not join RJD out of any greed but to work under the leadership of Tejashwi and Tej Pratap Yadav. She also added that she is ready to fulfill every responsibility for the party and the family.
Impact on Young and Rural Voters
By fielding Karishma, RJD has adopted a strategy to influence young and rural voters. The party hopes that her candidature will send a positive message among the public.
Political Implications Related to Aishwarya Rai
The divorce proceedings between Aishwarya Rai, daughter of Daroga Rai's son Chandrika Rai, and Tej Pratap Yadav are still pending in court. Their marriage, which took place in 2018, lasted only six months, after which a divorce petition was filed. Following this development, relations between the two families deteriorated. Therefore, giving a ticket to Aishwarya's cousin is considered a strategic move by Lalu Yadav.
