RJD National Executive Meeting: Tej Pratap Yadav stormed out of the meeting, accusing the party's general secretary of abusing him. He further stated that Rajak should be expelled from the party.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) national executive meeting on Sunday was marred by a scuffle as RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's elder son and Bihar cabinet minister Tej Pratap Yadav stormed out, accusing the party's national general secretary Shyam Rajak of being an agent of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), news agency ANI reported. 

After the meeting, Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that Shyam Rajak had abused him and his sister. He stated that Rajak should be expelled from the party because he is a BJP and RSS agent.

"Shyam Rajak abused me, my personal assistant and my sister today when Iasked him about the meeting schedule. I have an audio recording and I willput it on my social media. Such BJP-RSS people should be thrown out ofthe organisation," Tej Pratap quoted as saying by news agency ANI. 

The recent development comes after a buzz that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav may appoint a new state president on Monday, the second day of the national executive meeting. The names of senior party members like Abdul Bari Siddiqui and Shyam Rajak are doing the rounds in political circles, ANI reported. 

Rashtriya Janata Dal's National Executive meeting is being held at NDMC Convention Centre in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, Rajak said a powerful person has all the right to say anythingbut being a Dalit he does not enjoy such privilege.

Speaking to ANI, Rajak said, "I want to say one thing that 'Samarth Ke Hot Na Koi Dosh Gosai'. A powerful person has the right to say whatever he wants. He is saying what he wants to say because he is powerful. I am fromthe Dalit community. I cannot say anything. A Dalit is a bonded labourer." The two-day national executive meeting of RJD is being held in New Delhi.

Notably, the party's state president Jagdanand Singh has not attended the meeting.

Speculations are rife that ever since his son Sudhakar Singh resigned as Agriculture Minister from the Nitish Kumar cabinet, he has been upset withthe top RJD leadership, ANI reported.
