The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for appointing Tejashwi Yadav as its working president, calling it a coronation of a "failed product of dynastic politics." This appointment comes in the wake of the RJD's significant defeat in the 2025 Bihar elections, where the party struggled to maintain its foothold amid a shifting political landscape. The BJP argues that Tejashwi's elevation is a testament to the RJD's focus on family loyalty over electoral performance.
RJD's decision to promote Tejashwi has been seen by critics as a move to consolidate power within the Yadav family, which has long dominated the party's leadership. Despite the electoral setback, the RJD seems committed to preserving its traditional leadership structure, which BJP claims is akin to a "family-run company." The party's supporters, however, argue that Tejashwi's leadership skills and political acumen make him the right choice to steer the party forward.
Amidst the political rhetoric, Tejashwi Yadav's new role presents both challenges and opportunities. While he faces the daunting task of reviving the RJD's fortunes in Bihar, he also has a chance to redefine the party's image and strategy. As the political climate in Bihar remains dynamic, all eyes will be on Tejashwi to see if he can overcome the criticisms of dynastic politics and lead the RJD to future successes.
