Raghopur

About Raghopur

Raghopur

Raghopur is traditionally the “family seat” of Lalu-Rabri Yadav. Lalu, Rabri Devi, and now Tejashwi Yadav have held this seat. In 2025, Satish Kumar Yadav (BJP) is being fielded against Tejashwi Yadav, making it a high-profile direct contest. Because it has symbolic as well as electoral weight, the RJD would like to retain it as a prestige victory, while NDA would like to break the hold. Tejashwi Yadav (RJD) won Raghopur in 2020 with a victory margin of 38174 against runner-up Satish Kumar. This seat has seen repeated wins by the Yadav family (Lalu, Rabri) over decades.
