Former Bihar Minister joins RJD

Patna, June 25 (UNI) Months ahead of the Bihar assembly elections, former state Minister and MP Renu Kushwaha joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) today along with some other leaders, giving a boost to the main opposition party.
Kushwaha, who at various times has been with the BJP, JDU, and LJP, crossed over to the RJD alongside Raghavendra Kushwaha and some other followers.

In her political career, Renu Kushwaha has served three terms as an MLA, one as an MP, and two stints as a Bihar minister.
Welcoming the new members to the RJD, its leader Tejashwi Yadav said their joining will make the party stronger and help them push their ideals of social justice and secularism.

He said: “The RJD aims to bring everyone together, especially those who feel left behind, to build a Bihar where everyone feels valued and respected.”

He added: “The Kushwaha community joining the party will significantly strengthen our commitment to social justice. For every step forward the Kushwaha community takes, Tejashwi will take four steps alongside them. Let’s build a new Bihar, together.”

Speaking at the event, RJD State President Mangani Lal Mandal expressed confidence that Lalu Prasad Yadav’s vision will gain momentum with the addition of all members. He predicted that under Tejashwi Yadav's leadership, Bihar will experience transformation and the formation of a development-oriented government.
