‘Jan Suraaj Will Support Lalu Yadav If…’: Prashant Kishor After Tej Pratap Yadav’s Expulsion From RJD | India News
After the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Yadav expelled his elder son Tej Pratap Yadav from the party for six years, Jan Suraaj’s founder and poll-strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor weighed in and asked what Bihar has to do with this expulsion.
Speaking to reporters, Kishor added that if Lalu Yadav declares someone from the ‘Yadav caste’ as the CM face, except Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraaj will show support to the RJD.
ANI quoted Kishor as saying, “What does Bihar have to do with Lalu Yadav expelling someone from the party and family? Did Lalu Yadav say that if there is any able person from the Yadav caste, he will make him the leader? Even now, Lalu Yadav wants Tejashwi Yadav to be the CM. If today Lalu Yadav declares someone from the Yadav caste as the CM face, except Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraaj will support him. In reality, these parties that are doing the politics of caste are doing the politics of family.”
