Rajni Ranjan Sahu

He represented the state of Bihar in Rajya Sabha (upper chamber of parliament) for two six-year terms (1984–1996) as a member of the Congress party (I).

Also, he grew up in a family of freedom fighters, (Two Uncles Dhwaja Prasad Sahu and Rajkishor Prasad Sahu) who embraced the ethos of the struggle for independence through non-violent means; the movement was led by the Indian National Congress under Gandhi’s leadership.

During his teen and early adult years, Sahu was also influenced by his older brother, Shashi Ranjan Sahu, a trade unionist in Bihar belonging to the Congress party who was elected twice (in 1962 and 1967) to the lower house of parliament.

Though he was unsuccessful in 1979 in contesting the Lok Sabha seat from the Muzaffarpur constituency against George Fernandes, the then Janata Party Industry Minister, Sahu went on to hold important party and other public positions in his home state of Bihar—Director of India Tourism Development Corporation (1981-1983), Chair of Bihar State Credit and Investment Corporation Limited, Patna (1982-1985), and Treasurer, Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (I) (1985-1991).
