The RJD’s national executive convened in Patna on Sunday, appointing Tejashwi Yadav as executive president—a move cheered officially but met with nuanced family input.
Tej Pratap Yadav, helming Jan Shakti Janata Dal, conversed with press and stressed: ‘One must execute given responsibilities diligently.’ The statement arrives amid party introspection.
He championed sister Rohini Acharya’s X broadside, mocking the appointment as crowning a ‘prince puppet’ via ‘infiltration syndicates’ and toadies, capping their father’s storied career. ‘She nailed it—totally correct,’ Tej Pratap vouched.
Addressing pleas to cut Congress ties after poll drubbings, he retorted: ‘Do it before contests, not after total wipeouts.’
Sparing no one, he caricatured Rahul Gandhi as a ‘scooter whiz’ ace at maneuvers and fowl rice dishes, critiquing leadership voids.
While RJD’s social media heralded Tejashwi’s rise as epochal, Rohini’s twin posts Saturday lambasted internal decay, outsider dominance, and the jeopardizing of Lalu Prasad’s hard-won legacy.
As echoes reverberate, this familial discourse spotlights vulnerabilities that could pivot RJD’s strategy in Bihar’s volatile arena.
