Lalu Prasad Yadav's RJD has fielded former Bihar Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary from Siwan constituency for Lok Sabha elections. Notably, Choudhary is a six-time MLA from the same seat. Siwan was earlier a stronghold of late gangster and RJD politician Mohammad Shahabuddin, who died of COVID-19. Choudhary will face ex-MLA Ramesh Kushwaha's wife Vijaylaxmi Devi in the elections.
