K.C. Tyagi, the General Secretary of the Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] said Lalu Prasad Yadav, the President of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is scared of Kanhaiya Kumar’s popularity in Bihar.
Mr. Tyagi, on the 29th of April, said while talking to the media, “We have sympathies for Kanhaiya despite ideological differences, He is a victim of extreme political betrayal. The left has always stood with Lalu but he did not make Kanhaiya the alliance nominee to protect Tejaswi’s throne.”
Mr. Tyagi made the comments after, Kanhaiya was not fielded as the MP candidate of the RJD from Begusarai.
The Communist Party of India (CPI,) the RJD and the Indian National Congress (INC) made an alliance in Bihar to contest against the opposition parties.
According to Mr. Tyagi, Lalu was scared of the gaining popularity of Kanhaiya in Begusarai, which could be a set back for his son, Tejaswi Yadav.
Kanhaiya Kumar is one of the famous faces in Bihar’s Begusarai and is getting increasing support from all sections of society for breaking barriers of caste and religion.
