RJD chief Lalu Yadav will not campaign for state elections in Bihar for the first time in over four decades. The former Chief Minister, jailed for corruption since 2018, had handed charge to his son Tejashwi Yadav but has been overseeing party affairs from a prison hospital. Lalu Yadav, 72, is serving a four-year sentence in Jharkhand in a case linked to the misuse of funds meant for cattle fodder on his watch as Chief Minister in the 1990s. He has spent most of his term at a government hospital in Ranchi.
