UP connection of conflict in Lalu family, former MP’s son-in-law becoming the real reason for the dispute?

News India Live, Digital Desk: The infighting in Bihar politics and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family is no longer hidden from anyone. Sometimes there are reports of power tussle between brothers and sometimes of rift in relationships. But now a big ‘UP connection’ is coming to light behind this family feud, which has created a stir in politics from Bihar to Uttar Pradesh.

If sources are to be believed, the real reason for the internal dispute in the Lalu family is none other than the son-in-law of a powerful UP leader and former MP, whose interference in the family is increasing. This interference is now causing discord between the brothers.

Who is this former MP’s son-in-law?

This person is none other than the son-in-law of veteran Samajwadi Party leader and former MP late Dharmendra Yadav. He is married to a daughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav. It is being said that he is now taking strategic and political decisions of the entire family from behind the scenes.

What is the root of the dispute?

At the center of this entire controversy is the power struggle between Tejashwi Yadav and his elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav, but now this ‘UP connection’ has added fuel to the fire.

• External influences on stunning: There are reports that Tejashwi Yadav is now following the advice of his ‘brother-in-law from UP’ more than his family members. From ticket distribution in the party to major decisions of the organization, his opinion is being given importance.
• Ignoring Tej Pratap and Misa Bharti: With the emergence of this new ‘power centre’ in the family, Tej Pratap Yadav and elder sister Misa Bharti are feeling neglected. He feels that his opinion is being ignored in the decisions of the party and family.
• Resentment among old loyalists: Not only the family, but many old and loyal leaders of RJD are also not happy with this new arrangement. They also feel that the command of the party is now going into the hands of a person who has no direct connection with the grassroots politics of Bihar.

Why is this matter so serious?

This dispute is not just a family feud, but it also has deep political meaning. If any ‘external’ force becomes so influential in a party like RJD, whose foundation is based on family, then it can be dangerous for the future of the party. This shows how big a tussle is going on within the family regarding control over the party after Lalu Yadav.

At present, no official statement has come from the Lalu family on this matter, but this ‘UP Connection’ remains the hottest topic of discussion in the political circles. It will be interesting to see what new turn this family feud takes in the future.
