Lalu Prasad Yadav

Lalu Prasad Yadav's greatest accolade is his enduring influence on Bihar's political landscape. He transformed the state's politics by championing social justice for backward castes and minorities, a legacy that continues through his son Tejashwi Yadav. His ability to connect with the masses and his sharp political instincts have kept him relevant for over five decades. The RJD, which he founded in 1997, remains a major force in Bihar politics, a testament to his organizational skills.
