Why it matters
This story may be significant to current events.
Days after Rashtriya Lok Morcha’s (RLM) Deepak Prakash was denied a ticket for the Bihar Legislative Council elections, raising questions over his continuance as a Minister, the party concluded its organisational elections on Sunday (June 13, 2026), re-electing former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha as its national president. The development is being seen as an assertion of independence by Mr. Kushwaha amid suggestions that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been encouraging a merger of the RLM with the party.
