Fools spreading news of me stepping down as RJD president: Lalu Yadav

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday (February 4) rubbished reports that suggest he would resign and son Tejashwi Yadav could become the next party president.

Speaking to media persons, Yadav senior said, “Those running such reports are fools. We will get to know whatever happens,” he said.

Lalu Yadav’s younger son Tej Pratap Yadav too said the speculations (about Tejashwi Yadav becoming party president) are false, saying that Lalu Yadav has run the party very efficiently and there is no reason to look for a replacement.
