RJD Chief Lalu Yadav’s eldest daughter Misa Bharti on Monday, 8 October, acknowledged the “rift” between her two brothers – Tej Pratap and Tejashwi Yadav – but later clarified that despite all differences, the party was a “big family”.
Latching onto her statement, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that Bharti’s admittance of infighting in the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) would lead to the collapse of the party and its dynasty politics.
Addressing party workers in Maner on the outskirts of Patna, Bharti asked them to give up bickering and stay united.
