Differences crop up between Lalu’s sons over Anant Singh, other party affairs
Patna, Dec 29 (The Bihar Post/IBNS): Differences have surfaced between two powerful Yadav brothers—sons of RJD chief Lalu Prasad—over policy matters in what experts say not a very good sign for the party ahead of the next year’s Lok Sabha polls.
The fresh differences have surfaced over the issue of accommodation of muscle-flexing legislator Anant Singh in the Grand Alliance.
A day after Tej Pratap Yadav openly welcomed the Mokama legislator in the Grand Alliance, his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav shot down the idea.
“There is no place for bad elements like Anant Singh in the Grand Alliance. His ideology doesn’t match with that of the Grand Alliance,” Tejashwi told the media on Friday.
A day earlier his elder brother had welcomed Singh saying everyone who wants to defeat communal forces is welcome into the RJD camp.
“Anant Singh is most welcome in the Grand Alliance if he wants so,” RJD leader Tej Pratap had told the media on Thursday.
He had made these observations after Singh had sung paeans to RJD chief Prasad, describing him as a mass leader.
“No leader in Bihar has the huge support base like Lalu Prasad,” Singh had said and described him as his “favorite”.
Differences have also occurred over Tej Pratap’s holding his janata durbar to redress the woes of the masses.
Reports say top RJD leaders have refused to go near Tej Pratap who has the backing of his maternal uncle Sadhu Yadav–the man whom RJD chief Prasad doesn’t like.
