Amid seat-sharing dilemma in Mahagathbandhan, RJD's Tejashwi Yadav will campaign against his own party's candidate in Bihar. RJD fielded Afzal Ali Khan from Gaura Bauram; however, Mukesh Sahani's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) & RJD made a last-minute deal, following which VIP announced their candidate from Gaura Bauram for whom Tejashwi will campaign. Khan has refused to withdraw his nomination.
