The RJD has taken full care of caste mathematics in the selection of candidates for the first phase. Apart from following the Muslim-Yadav (MY) equation, the party has also focused on Dalits and the most backward. Maximum 19 tickets Yadav candidates have been fielded. After the separation of the RLSP from the Grand Alliance of the RLSP, the Koiri society has also been tried. Apart from this, he has also tried to give the message of being a two to one party to get himself out of the old image. Rajput, Brahmin, Bhumihar and Vaishya Samaj have also been given representation in ticket distribution.
The election of the first phase is very important for the grand alliance. In the last election, 54 of these 71 seats were with the Grand Alliance. In that too, its importance is more for RJD. The party had 25 MLAs from here. The RJD has got 41 seats in this phase. Among the candidates who have been given symbols, 20 are Yadavs. However, out of this, screws have been stuck with the Congress on the Chainpur seat. From there, Bhola Yadav got the symbol. This time the party has selected candidates for breach of tickets in other vote banks as well, in order to save their base vote in ticket distribution.
Muslim faces have been removed from Banka and Rafiganj. While Mokama’s independent MLA Anant Singh has surprised everyone by giving him a ticket. A ticket has been given to Sudhakar Singh from Ramgarh, who is a Rajput. However, more than caste, he has got the benefit of his father and RJD state president Jagadananda. Similarly, Shahpur seat has been given to Rahul Tiwari, son of RJD vice-president Shivanand Tiwari. It can be considered the seat of the Brahmin quota. The party has also tried to get Upendra Factor by giving tickets to three candidates of Koiri caste. Apart from this, eight Scheduled Castes and one Scheduled Tribe candidates have been given tickets. By giving three tickets, the RJD has also made a breach in the EBC i.e. very backward vote bank.

Many of the party’s legislators have been betrothed
In the first phase itself, more than half a dozen MLAs of the party have been betrothed. The party has not given tickets to many of its current MLAs. These include Bijender Prasad from Obra, Subedar Das from Makhdumpur, Kunti Devi from Attri. Ara, Arwal, Paliganj and Karakat sitting seats have gone to Male’s account.
Family members of RJD leaders also get tickets
Sudhakar Singh, son of state president Jagdanand Singh, has been made a candidate from his father’s Ramgarh seat. Rahul Tiwari, son of party national vice-president Shivanand Tiwari, will contest from Shahpur. Former Union minister Kanti Singh’s son Rishi Singh is contesting from Obra and former minister Jayaprakash Yadav’s daughter Divya Prakash is contesting from Tarapur. Apart from these, Vibha Devi, wife of MLA Rajaballabh Yadav, got ticket from Nawada, Kiran Devi, wife of MLA Arun Yadav.
