Deeply rooted in the social and agricultural life of the Madhesh region, Yadav represents a generation of leaders shaped by public movements, rural realities, and sustained political engagement.
He has completed his education up to the Proficiency Certificate Level and entered active politics during the historic People’s Movement of 2006. Since then, he has remained continuously involved in political and social movements, including the Madhesh Movement, advocating for inclusion, regional development, and social justice.

During his tenure in Parliament, he served as a member of the Industry, Commerce, and Supplies Committee, where he played an active role in discussions related to economic development, supply systems, and industrial policy. In parliamentary debates, he consistently raised issues concerning rural infrastructure, farmers’ welfare, healthcare services, road connectivity, electricity, and education, positioning himself as a strong voice for marginalized and agrarian communities.
