Bihar Congress chief Rajesh Ram has inherited politics. His father, Dilkeshwar Ram, is known as a giant figure in politics. Rajesh is a two-term Congress legislator from the Kutumba assembly constituency in Aurangabad district, winning this seat in both the 2015 and 2020 assembly polls. He replaced Akhilesh Prasad Singh as the Bihar Congress president in March 2025. The leadership change holds particular significance with the assembly elections approaching in Bihar. Rajesh has been tasked to restructure the party reflecting Rahul Gandhi's ideology of social justice and proper representation to every community.

In an exclusive interview with Imran Mojib of The Statesman, the Congress leader spoke about the party's revival in poll-bound Bihar.

Q: How do you see the Congress party's prospects in Bihar?

A: Very bright. Agreed, the Congress had lost its connection with the majority of the people of Bihar. But people of Bihar remained connected to its origins, stayed with its values. That is why the party never faced an existential crisis. It never faded away from people's minds despite the rivals writing its death certificate again and again.

Considering the path the Congress has undertaken in Bihar, it is bound to grow and flourish across the state. I can say this with such confidence because people have been supporting us like never before. It will make a great comeback in the upcoming assembly elections. People are looking for an alternative. They see hope in the Congress.
