Rule
It held power in the Indian state of Bihar, under the Chief Ministers Laloo Prasad Yadav and then Rabri Devi, Laloo's wife, but after the elections in February 2005, the state of Bihar came under President's Rule through Governor of Bihar Sardar Buta Singh. Since then, a new election has brought the NDA to power in the state. The RJD is no longer a member of India's governing coalition led by the Congress Party. The party was in alliance with Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party and Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party forming what the media has dubbed the "Fourth Front". However, in 2010 Assembly election, the RJD did not continue their alliance with Samajwadi Party.
