Patna, March 28
Upset over being sidelined in the party and the family, Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad, on Thursday resigned as patron of the RJD student wing ahead of the Lok Sabha poll, dealing a blow to Bihar’s main Opposition party.
“I am resigning as patron of the RJD student wing. Those who think I am naive are mistaken,” tweeted Tej Pratap Yadav, a former Bihar Health Minister who has been having simmering disputes with his younger brother and the more active Tejashwi Yadav. Tej added that he knew who wields what kind of influence in party affairs.
Tej has reportedly told his aides that he was pained because his request to accommodate two of his supporters as candidates in the Sheohar and Jehanabad LS seats was rejected. RJD leaders close to him say he is not happy with the way Tejashwi Yadav has been given command of the party and with the latter’s style of functioning. — IANS
