“Can Osama Shahab Carve His Own Path? RJD’s Young Face in Bihar’s Political Crucible”

The CSR Journal Magazine

This time the first phase of voting for Bihar Assembly elections is to be held on 6th November. The political atmosphere is heated regarding whose government will be formed this time in Bihar. Both the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) and the NDA are putting their full strength into this election. There are many such faces in this great battle with whom the reputation of their families is linked. What will be their future? Will they be able to win the elections or will they be able to separate their identity from their heritage? This question is being asked about Osama Shahab, RJD candidate from Raghunathpur assembly constituency of Siwan district. Osama Shahab is the son of former Siwan MP and strongman leader Shahabuddin.

Who is Osama Shahab?

Osama Shahab is the son of Siwan MP and one time powerful leader Shahabuddin. RJD has given ticket to Osama Shahab from Raghunathpur assembly constituency in place of current MLA Harishankar Yadav. This policy of the party is making it clear that even today it has faith in the credibility of Shahabuddin. Osama Shahab has made his debut in a way with the elections of Raghunathpur assembly constituency. Before this, he has no experience of contesting elections. Yes, he has his father’s legacy behind him, due to which the party has bet on Osama. Osama’s attempt is to do something different. However, no such thing has been seen so far. Osama is trying to connect with the local people and adopt their dialect. Osama Shahab also looks like his father, so he is going to get full benefit of his father’s image. Another problem with him is that his father had a criminal background, due to which his marks may be cut. Osama had joined RJD with his mother only last year and now he is trying his luck in the elections. Osama Shahab is one of the three children of Shahabuddin. Shahabuddin has two daughters and one son.

Are there many criminal cases registered against Osama also?

Forgetting Shahabuddin’s criminal image, if we look at Osama, we will find that Osama also has many criminal cases registered against him. He has given information in his affidavit that there are two criminal cases pending against him, although the charges against him have not been proved in any of the cases. Osama is 31 years old and married. He has obtained matriculation education from Delhi, he has not studied beyond that. His wife is a doctor by profession. Prabhat Khabar’s Political Editor Mithilesh Kumar says that Osama Shahab is new in politics. Behind him is the legacy of his father Shahabuddin, on whose trust the party has given him the ticket. His appearance resembles that of his father, due to which people feel connected easily. He lacks experience, but he wants to win the election by doing something different. Speaks less during election campaign and behaves differently from his father. He will definitely get cadre votes, but only time will tell how much the Shahabuddin factor will do in the fight between the forward and the backward.

How is the equation of Raghunathpur?

The number of Muslim and Yadav voters in Raghunathpur is high, hence Osama will get the support of RJD cadre voters, but the possibility of other voters going with Osama seems less. The reason for this is that this election in Raghunathpur has become a battle between the forward and the backward, in such a situation the possibility of the forward class going with Osama seems very less. RJD hopes that due to Shahabuddin factor and young face, RJD will win the elections here. Current MLA of Raghunathpur, Harishankar Yadav, during the election campaign, is asking the common people to make this boy win in the elections, so that a young Chief Minister becomes in the state too.
