Lalu Prasad’s son and Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav was on Monday named the leader of RJD Legislature Party in the new Bihar Assembly, a decision slammed by the BJP as “open display of dynastic politics”.
Lalu, who was authorised by the RJD Legislature Party earlier to take the decision, nominated Tejaswi, a first-time MLA, his close aide and MLA Bhola Yadav said. The RJD chief’s wife Rabri Devi will head the legislature party of the bicameral body.
While Tejaswi Yadav is the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, Rabri Devi is a member of state Legislative Council.
