Patna, March 10 RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav convened a meeting of party legislators and MLAs from other constituents of the 'Mahagathbandhan' on Tuesday to devise a strategy ahead of the Rajya Sabha elections in Bihar on March 16, a party leader said.
The meeting will be held in the afternoon at Yadav's official residence in Patna, he said.
Six candidates – five from the ruling NDA and one from the opposition 'Mahagathbandhan' – are contesting for five Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar.
The RJD holds two of the five Rajya Sabha seats in the state, which will soon become vacant.
In light of the RJD's poor performance in the 2025 assembly elections, when the party managed to win only 25 seats in the 243-member House, it decided to contest only one seat, withdrawing Prem Chand Gupta, a former Union minister and key aide of party supremo Lalu Prasad.
The RJD has renominated businessman-turned-politician Amarendra Dhari Singh for the election to the Upper House of Parliament.
