Political career
Yadav ran for the Bihar Legislative Assembly in the 2015 election, contesting the Kahalgaon constituency as an independent candidate. He was defeated, placing third with 15% of the vote.[2][3] He ran for the same constituency again in the 2020 election, standing as a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate. Despite the district being an Indian National Congress stronghold and his opponent being the son of prominent politician Sadanand Singh, Yadav was elected with 115,538 votes compared to his opponent's 72,379.[4][5]
During his tenure, Yadav advocated for the expansion of Bhagalpur Airport, arguing that it could not handle large airplanes.[6] In 2021, he met with state railway minister Ashwani Vaishnav regarding rail stoppages in the Bhagalpur district.[7]
