Blow to RJD as Bihar unit vice-president quits party

ARA: In yet another blow to Lalu Prasad-led RJD, its Bihar unit vice-president and MLA from Sandesh constituency Vijendra Kumar Yadav resigned from the primary membership of the party on Saturday. Yadav has sent his resignation letter to party’s state president Jagdanand Singh.
On Tuesday, five RJD MLCs had formed a separate group and merged with the governing JD(U). The same day, party stalwart Raghuvansh Prasad Singh had resigned as RJD national vice-president.
Asked about his next course of action, Yadav said, “Though I am getting offers from main political parties like BJP, JD (U) and LJP, I will join the party that gives me due honour and value. I have great regard for CPI (ML) too as I worked for its candidate supported by RJD.”
