Tej Pratap Yadav Launches Membership Drive
Tej Pratap Yadav, a former minister in Bihar, is starting a big membership drive for his new party, the Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD).
This drive will begin on Friday at his home in Patna.
Tej Pratap wants to make his party stronger and different from his family's party, the RJD.
Meanwhile, senior RJD leader Shivanand Tiwari is questioning Tejashwi Yadav's leadership after the party's defeat in the Bihar assembly election.
Tiwari accuses Tejashwi of being disconnected from ground realities and advises him to return to Bihar and resume the struggle on the ground.
This move by Tej Pratap could change the political situation in Bihar, especially if it takes away some votes from the RJD.
The family feud between Tej Pratap and his brother Tejashwi has been very public, and this new party could make things even more interesting in the upcoming elections.
Tej Pratap Yadav's Janshakti Janata Dal (JJD) will launch a membership drive on Friday to expand its base.
The drive will start at 1 p.m. from Tej Pratap's official residence at 26 M Stand Road, Patna.
Tej Pratap aims to create an independent identity separate from the RJD and the Lalu–Tejashwi camp.
