NDTV
Sources say Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Yadav's younger son and political heir, had his father's tacit approval.
The proxy war between Lalu Yadav's sons Tejashwi and Tej Pratap has once again stirred the pot in Bihar's opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). In the latest fight between the brothers, Tejashwi has removed the party's student unit chief, infuriating Tej Pratap. Akash Yadav, Tej Pratap's protege, was collateral damage in the sibling rivalry. Sources say Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Yadav's younger son and political heir, had his father's tacit approval. Before sacking Akash Yadav, Tejaswi Yadav also persuaded a Tej Pratap adversary, Jagdanand Singh to come out of his sulk. An upset Jagadanand Singh, the chief of RJD's Bihar unit, had stopped going to office after Tej Pratap accused him of running the party "Hitler-style". Lalu Yadav, who has resumed his political activities since his release from jail earlier this year, has been "monitoring" the shenanigans and cleared Tejashwi's moves knowing full well that his older son Tej Pratap would be furious.
