Tejashwi Prasad Yadav
PATNA: RJD leader and former Bihar deputy CM Tejashwi Prasad Yadav will kickstart his election campaign for Assam assembly polls by addressing a public rally at Senairam Boarding field in Tinsukia town, the headquarters of Tinsukia district, on March 22.
It will be Tejashwi’s maiden election rally in Assam where the RJD is part of the Congress-led eight-party Grand Alliance. RJD has fielded Hira Devi, a businesswoman from the Hindi speaking community, as its candidate from Tinsukia assembly seat.
“Tejashwi will land at Assam’s Dibrugarh airport around 9.30 am on March 22. From the airport, he will go to Tinsukia via road. He will reach Tinsukia around 11.30 pm,” RJD’s Assam state president Shonarul Shah Mustafa told TOI over the phone on Wednesday.

PATNA: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has decided to highlight unnecessary harassment of Hindi-speaking people during the process of updating of National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam during its campaign for the ongoing assembly election.
Ill effects of the Citizenship Amendment Act-2019 (CAA) and the recent unprecedented rise in the prices of petroleum products especially diesel and cooking gas will also be highlighted in the poll campaign.
Lalu Prasad-led party is contesting the Hindi-Bhashi dominated Tinsukia seat in the first phase as part of seat-sharing among the eight allies of the Congress-led Grand Alliance and also hoping to get one more seat-Gauhati West- in the third phase. Assam goes to the polls in three phases on March 27, April 1 and 6.
