Labelling Shyam Rajak as a BJP and RSS man, Yadav said, ‘Shyam Rajak abused me, my personal assistant sister today when I asked him about the schedule of the meeting. I have an audio recording & I’ll put it on my social media. Such BJP-RSS people should be thrown out of the party.’
Storming out of the venue, Tej Pratap said that nobody is going to sit there to hear abuse, saying that Shyam Rajak abused him.
RJD National General Secretary Shyam Rajak said that he has nothing to make a remark about. “I have no comments to make on it. He is saying what he wants to say because he is powerful, I am a Dalit man, and cannot say anything,” Rajak said.

The RJD’s two-day national conference began today in New Delhi. However, the RJD appears to be in disarray, as state president Jagdanand Singh snubbed the two-day national conference. The meeting takes place before RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav travels to Singapore for a kidney transplant on October 10.
Since his son Sudhakar Singh was forced to leave as the agricultural minister in the Nitish Kumar administration, Jagdanand Singh has been dissatisfied with the party’s senior leadership, as per reports.
