**Patna, India**: In a significant political development, Osama Shahabuddin, son of the late controversial politician Mohammad Shahabuddin, has joined the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) alongside his mother, Hina Shahab. This move is seen as a strategic boost for RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, bolstering the party’s position ahead of the upcoming state elections.

Osama, who has been in the limelight due to various controversies, is now entering the political arena, following in his father’s footsteps. His entry into the RJD has been welcomed by the party, with Tejashwi Yadav stating that it will strengthen the party’s presence not only in Siwan but across Bihar.

Shahabuddin, a former MP from Siwan, was known for his controversial political career and was associated with the RJD for a considerable period. Following his demise, the family drifted away from the party, with Hina Shahab contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate. However, the close relationship between Osama and Tejashwi, evident in their public appearances and interactions, seems to have played a key role in the decision to join the RJD.

Osama’s entry into politics is likely to stir discussions about the future of the Shahabuddin legacy. With the upcoming state elections, it is speculated that Osama might contest on an RJD ticket, carrying forward his father’s political legacy.

The development is being seen as a strategic move by Tejashwi Yadav, further solidifying the RJD’s position in Bihar ahead of the elections. The party is hoping to capitalize on this move to garner support from Shahabuddin’s former constituents, potentially strengthening their hold on the region.
