Bihar elections: Check out Khesari Lal Yadav's net worth as Bhojpuri star files nomination from Chhapra for RJD

Bhojpuri actor-singer Khesari Lal Yadav is the RJD candidate for the Bihar assembly elections from Chhapra constituency. The 39-year-old, who has acted in around 70 movies, was also part of Bigg Boss 13. He was born in Chhapra in Saran district, which elected BJP's CN Gupra in the two previous elections. However, the NDA has now fielded Chhoti Kumari from the seat, meaning it will be a contest between new blood in the constituency.

 

"I am not a traditional leader; I am the son of all of you, the people; I am the red of the fields and farmlands; I am the voice of every class and the enthusiasm of the young brothers. For me, politics is not a race for a chair; it is a responsibility—to bring development to every home in Chhapra," the multifaceted celebrity had jotted on social media while declaring his candidature for the Mahagatbandhan.

Bihar assembly polls 2025

According to the Election Commission, more than 1,250 candidates filed their papers for the 121 seats which go to polls on November 6, and the number was likely to go up as data was still flowing in from districts.

In at least half-a-dozen constituencies, more than one INDIA bloc candidate has filed nomination papers and these seats may end up witnessing "friendly fights" among the constituents unless one of the nominees pulls out by October 20.

The alliance comprising RJD, Congress, three Left parties and former state minister Mukesh Sahani's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) has still not been able to declare how many seats were being contested by which party and confusion seemed to prevail among them with regard to the constituencies, too.
