Tej Pratap likens brother Tejashwi to ‘Duryodhana’

Earlier on several occasions, he had called his brother “Arjun” and had promised to support him like Krishna in his political career.

Patna: Political temperature hea-ts up in Bihar as Tej Pratap in a tweet compared his brother Tejashwi Yad-av to mythological character ‘Duryodhana’. His tweet against Tejashwi Yadav comes as a major embarrassment for the party ahead of Lok Sabha elections. Earlier on several occasions, he had called his brother “Arjun” and had promised to support him like Krishna in his political career.

Sources claim that Tej Pratap Yadav wanted the RJD to field candidates of his choice from Sheohar and Jehanabad seats but his demands were turned down by his brother Tejashwi Yadav.

In a late night development on Saturday RJD named Syed Faisal Ali as its candidate from Sheohar Lok Sabha seat.

According to RJD insiders, “There is a reason for him to get angry. Without consulting him the party fielded his estranged fat-her in law from Saran se-at. His demands for She-ohar and Jehanabad seats were also turned down by his brother and few top leaders of the party”.

Trouble between the two brothers has been brewing ever since Lalu Yadav handed over the reins of the party to his younger son Tejashwi after he was convicted and sent to jail in the fodder scam case.
