Tejashwi Yadav: From dream electoral debut to fall from grace
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav faced a difficult election despite being the INDIA bloc's chief ministerial candidate. He won from Raghopur after trailing for rounds. Ten years after becoming Deputy Chief Minister, his party's seat tally significantly reduced. He struggled to counter the jungle raj narrative and underestimated Nitish Kumar's appeal. Women's absence at rallies also indicated a trust deficit.
