Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav plans to contest the upcoming Bihar assembly elections from two constituencies - his family stronghold Raghopur and JD(U)-held Phulparas in Madhubani district.

The election may feature a high-profile battle in Raghopur if political newcomer Prashant Kishor decides to contest from the same constituency.
