RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav wrote to Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar seeking life‑size statues of late leaders Ram Vilas Paswan, Sharad Yadav and Raghuvansh Singh, citing the party’s inclusive vision.

RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav sent a formal letter to Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, requesting that the state erect life‑size statues of three deceased political figures – Ram Vilas Paswan, Sharad Yadav and Raghuvansh Singh.

In the correspondence, Yadav framed the proposal as part of the Rashtriya Janata Dal’s broader inclusive vision, arguing that honoring leaders from diverse backgrounds would reflect the party’s commitment to all communities in the state.

The appeal arrives amid ongoing debates in Bihar over public memorials and the symbolic representation of political legacies, highlighting how parties use statues to signal ideological continuity and community outreach.

Why This Matters

The request underscores the RJD’s strategy to reinforce its image as a cross‑community platform by publicly commemorating leaders who appealed to varied voter bases. If approved, the statues could bolster the party’s grassroots credibility and influence future discussions on how political heritage is celebrated in Bihar’s public spaces.
