New Delhi, Oct 14 (TIWN) Ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls, former Union Minister and Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav's daughter Subhashini on Wednesday joined the Congress, apart from former MP Kali Pandey.

Mr. Nitish Kumar resigned as Bihar Chief Minister in July 2017, less than two years after he had joined hands with his arch enemy Lalu Prasad Yadav to form the ‘Mahagathbandhan’ government in the 2015 Assembly polls. He returned as Chief Minister after he rejoined the NDA. Sharad Yadav, who opposed this move, spoke publicly against it on many platforms and was expelled for anti-party activities.

The Congress is likely to field Ms. Yadav from the Bihariganj Assembly segment in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, which falls under Madhepura Lok Sabha seat. Her father, Sharad Yadav, has represented the Madhepura Lok Sabha seat four times in the past.
