When Dularchand Yadav Joined Jan Suraj Party

Dularchand Yadav was an eminent political leader, previously associated with political luminaries such as Lalu Yadav and Nitish Kumar.

His entry into the Jan Suraaj Party came sometime before the Bihar Assembly elections, in which he actively worked as a key supporter and campaign organizer for the Jan Suraj Party candidate, Piyush Priyadarshi, from the Mokama constituency.

 Dularchand Yadav was associated with the party in significant ways, and he sought to use his enormous influence in the Yadav-dominated local region in support of the new political movement inspired by Prashant Kishor.

His active stint with the Jan Suraaj Party came to a sad and abrupt end when he was murdered while campaigning in October 2025.
