In a recent statement, Tej Pratap, a prominent figure in the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and son of party leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, emphasized the importance of public support and the foundational role of the RJD in representing the interests of the common people. He described the party as a 'Public Force', reflecting its grassroots origins and commitment to serving the marginalized sections of society.

Tej Pratap's remarks came during an event where he sought to bolster the party's image amid increasing political competition in Bihar. His mention of Lalu Prasad Yadav signifies the enduring legacy of his father in Bihar's political landscape and how RJD continues to position itself as a champion of social justice and equality. This strategic focus aligns with RJD’s efforts to consolidate support from various social groups.

The timing of Tej Pratap's statements is crucial as Bihar approaches key elections. The RJD aims to galvanize its voter base, leveraging Lalu's enduring popularity and the narrative of inclusivity to counter other political adversaries. This underscores the RJD's strategy of reinforcing its ideological foundations while adapting to the contemporary political dynamics in the state, as it seeks to reclaim and maintain its influence in Bihar's evolving political scene.
