This phase of the ‘Workers Meeting cum Dialogue program was expected to strengthen Tejashwi Yadav’s connection with the party’s grassroots workers as the RJD continues its political efforts in the state.
During the first ‘Workers Meeting cum Dialogue’ program, Tejashwi Yadav launched a strategic initiative aimed at connecting and motivating grassroots party workers in preparation for the 2025 Assembly elections. That phase began on September 10 in Samastipur district and concluded on September 17.
This program is distinct from public rallies, as it is designed as a private gathering for key RJD members, including elected MLAs, MLCs, District Presidents, Block Presidents, and other active party members. These sessions offer an opportunity for party workers to share their experiences directly with Tejashwi Yadav, discussing key issues and challenges faced in their constituencies.
In preparation for the event, RJD asked all district presidents to compile a list of active members, ensuring that only invited representatives from the respective districts.
The program is structured as a closed-door dialogue, highlighting its focus on targeted outreach and strengthening internal party mechanisms rather than attracting large crowds.
Tejashwi Yadav aims to use these sessions to gather valuable insights into the local political landscape, including caste dynamics, the strength of opposition candidates, and other critical factors that could impact the party’s performance in the upcoming assembly elections. This grassroots-focused approach is central to RJD’s strategy for consolidating support and addressing local concerns ahead of the 2025 assembly election.
