New Delhi: Putting all speculations to rest, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) state president and veteran leader Jagdanand Singh on Tuesday said that Lalu Prasad Yadav will continue to be the party's supremo. Speaking to ETV Bharat, Singh said that he recently met Yadav after a long time and discussed about the party and the current political situation in Bihar. He said that Yadav's health is improving and soon the latter will be visiting Bihar.
"Yadav will soon be visiting Bihar to boost the morale of the party's workers. His health is improving and he will fully recover once he starts spending time among his people in the state," Singh added.
On being asked, Tejashwi Yadav's possible elevation as the party's national president in near future, Singh said that Lalu Yadav is capable of heading the party and will continue to do so as of now.
Jagdanand Singh also refuted the rumours of his rift with Lalu's elder son Tej Pratap Yadav and said, "Tej Pratap is my nephew and my relation with him as good as it could be. There is no rift between us and the RJD is the strongest party in Bihar," alleging that the BJP is engaged in spreading communalism in order to divide the country.
It is worth mentioning here that on RJD's foundation day event on July 5, Tej Pratap had taken a dig at Singh saying that the latter seems to be always angry with him. A few days later, reports of Singh tendering his papers surfaced in the media though it was denied by both Singh and Tej Pratap.
