Bihar Election Results: Tejaswhi Yadav, the former Deputy Chief Minister, promised to bring a law guaranteeing a government job for one member of every family.
Raghopur Assembly Election Result 2025 LIVE Updates: Vote counting for the Raghopur constituency in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025 will begin at 8 am today (Friday), and the results are expected to be announced later in the day by the Election Commission. In the high-stakes election, the Mahagathbandhan or INDIA bloc aims to break Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar’s two-decade run as Bihar Chief Minister, while the NDA fights to continue to helm the state. The Raghopur battle will be keenly watched as the Chief Minister face of Mahagathbandhan and RJD leader Tejaswhi Yadav fights from the seat against NDA candidate Satish Kumar (BJP) and the Jan Suraaj Party’s Chanchal Kumar.
Tejaswhi Yadav, the former Deputy Chief Minister, promised to bring a law guaranteeing a government job for one member of every family and said the recruitment process will begin within 20 months. Employment generation was one of the key issues Tejashwi raised in the high-octane campaign in the state and the government job promise is perceived as a game-changer by the RJD.
Raghopur seat has been dominated by the Yadavs since party founder and Tejashwi’s father Lalu Prasad’s victory in 1995 – except 2010-2015, when the JD(U) held it – and the constituency has supported Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav for the last two terms.
As Bihar Assembly Elections ended on Tuesday, the state recorded its highest-ever voter turnout at 66.91%. Notably, women set a new record with a voting percentage of 71.6% — 8.8 percentage points more than the 62.8% turnout among men.
