Sunday’s RJD National Executive meeting in Patna has all the makings of a leadership transition. Insiders predict Tejashwi Yadav’s appointment as executive president, allowing Lalu Prasad to step back due to health woes and pass the baton to his son.
Dozens of influential voices—from state presidents to MPs—gather for what promises organizational resets. Lalu inaugurates, steering talks on India’s political flux and RJD’s counter-strategies.
Post-assembly poll drubbing, scrutiny intensifies. Tejashwi receives a report flagging 300 laggards for repercussions, courtesy of state head Mangni Lal Mandal. Leadership slots like state chief and gen secy hang in balance.
His weekend office return signals renewed vigor. Yet, shadows of discord loom with Rohini Acharya’s social media jabs at Tejashwi, exposing leadership frays.
Shattering silence vowed after Nitish government’s rise, Tejashwi targeted crime mismanagement, rebuking BJP’s diversionary tactics blaming his trips for disorder over genuine reforms.
JD(U)’s Neeraj fired back, lampooning the vow-breaker. This pivotal session could solidify Tejashwi’s grip, revitalizing RJD’s fight in Bihar’s cutthroat arena.
