Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: RJD Leaders Organise Bihar Policy Dialogue

Patna: A host of senior RJD leaders and prominent academicians on Saturday stressed on the urgent need for policy innovations tailored to Bihar’s unique socio-economic landscape.

They were speaking in the Bihar Policy Dialogue, held at the Constitution Club of India. They participated in the brainstorming sessions focused on critical challenges and opportunities in the fields of education, healthcare, agriculture, and public finance. The Bihar Policy Dialogue was organised under the leadership of the RJD as a host of prominent policymakers, academics, and domain experts discussed ways to chart a roadmap for Bihar’s socio-economic transformation.

There were sessions on education, health, agriculture and public finance.  The event assumes special significance as RJD will present a development blueprint based on the recommendations from the dialogue and also incorporate them in its manifesto to be released ahead of the Bihar assembly election. 

The prominent RJD leaders who presented their views were party MP Sudhakar Singh,  general secretary Shashwat Gautam, MLC Ajay Kumar Singh,   national spokespersons Subodh Kumar Mehta, Jayant Jigyasu, Nawal Kishore and CPI (ML) MLA Sandeep Saurav. Applauding the initiative, Advisor to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sudheendra Kulkarni said, “This is the first time I am witnessing a dialogue of this calibre conducted by any regional party.”

Additional advocate general of Bihar Khurshid Alam highlighted the deeply entrenched issues in Bihar’s long-standing attempts at land reforms. He pointed out that while land reforms were initiated with ambitious goals, systemic inefficiencies, lack of political will, and bureaucratic hurdles had hindered their full implementation. RJD leader Gautam  advocated for reinstating APMC mandis and improving fertilizer distribution.
