Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Contemplates Action Against Tej Pratap Yadav

Patna: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar is contemplating disciplinary action against party chief Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav for raising a banner of revolt and “anti-party activities”, said party leaders on Sunday. Last month, former Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav launched the Lalu-Rabri Morch (LRM) after alleging that he was being sidelined in the party and fielded Angesh Kumar Singh as LRM candidate from the Sheohar Lok Sabha seat against RJD candidate Syed Faisal Ali.

Senior Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Shivanand Tiwary said Lalu Prasad had noticed this and disciplinary committee of the party would take up the issue. Another Rashtriya Janata Dal leader close to Lalu Prasad’s family said Tej Pratap was giving sleepless nights to the family as well as the party. “There is pressure from within the party to take action against Tej Pratap Yadav for his anti-party activities,” he said. According to RJD sources, senior party leader and former Union Minister A.A. Fatmi who last week quit the party was the first to demand action against Tej Pratap. Tej Pratap is openly campaigning against the RJD candidate and termed him a BJP agent. (IANS)
