LEADER of Opposition in Bihar assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Wednesday filed his nomination papers from Raghopur assembly constituency in Vaishali district, seeking his re-election for the third consecutive term.
Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor, who had earlier said that he would contest election from Raghopur against Tejashwi, however, took a U-turn and clarified that he would not fight election from anywhere and work for the organisation. "A decision that I should not contest election is in the larger interest of the party," he told the media.
