News India Live, Digital Desk: In Bihar politics, the internal discord of the Yadav family is often in the news. Tej Pratap Yadav, elder son of Rashtriya Janata Dal RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, has once again targeted his younger brother and current chief Tejashwi Yadav of RJD in gestures. Tej Pratap has taunted the leaders who make electoral trips only with ‘helicopters’ and keep direct contact with the public. Tej Pratap has often described himself as the real political heir of Lalu Prasad Yadav and has been alleging that he is being sidelined by some top leaders of the party. His statement, “We are not a leader with helicopter, we are a sweating leader on the ground,” has once again revealed the tussle of the power going on within the family. This shows that the succession struggle in the Lalu family is not over yet. Teej Pratap’s resentment has increased after the Lok Sabha election results, where RJD may have done well, but Tej Pratap is probably not satisfied with his role and contribution. This statement can also create confusion among party workers and its effect can also be seen on coalition politics. Now it has to be seen how Tejashwi Yadav and the top leadership of the party react to this ‘internal pain’ and will Lalu Prasad Yadav be able to bridge the gap between his two sons. This incident presents a glimpse of this struggle within the family in the politics of Bihar’s upcoming assembly elections.
