In Bihar's Yadav belt, the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on May 7 are a crucial test for the RJD-Congress alliance, with significant stakes in key constituencies like Madhepura, Supaul, and Jhanjharpur.

While RJD relies on its core Yadav and Muslim vote banks, the NDA's popularity is bolstered by Prime Minister Modi's central schemes and the Ram Mandir issue.

Local candidate dynamics, rebel contestants, and shifting loyalties among various castes add complexity to the political landscape, making these elections a significant battleground in Bihar.
