BJP slams RJD as Lalu Prasad son in law attends Tej Pratap official meeting

A massive controversy erupted after videos and pictures of both the meetings went viral on social media with the BJP questioning in which capacity Shailesh Kumar attended the meetings.

Patna: RJD supremo Lalu Prasad once again found his family embroiled in a massive controversy after his eldest son-in-law Shailesh Kumar attended the departmental meeting of minister Tej Pratap. As pictures of Shailesh Kumar from the meeting went viral, BJP also launched an attack on the RJD.

Tej Pratap took oath as minister in the Nitish Kumar cabinet on August 16 and on the same day he took charge of the environment, forest, and climate change department which was allocated to him. On August 17, Tej Pratap chaired a review meeting of the environment, forest, and climate change department at Aranya Bhawan. Tej Pratap's brother-in-law was seen sitting in this meeting with department officials.

On August 18, Tej Pratap held another meeting with officials of the Bihar Pollution Control Board, which was once again attended by Shailesh Kumar. This time he was seen sitting along with Tej Pratap.

A massive controversy erupted after videos and pictures of both the meetings went viral on social media with the BJP questioning in which capacity Shailesh Kumar attended the meetings.

Nobody should take Tej Pratap Yadav lightly. Shailesh is also seen sitting in the meeting. I can vouch that of all the ministers from the RJD, Kota Kumar is the most intelligent, knowledgeable, and talented. If Shailesh Kumar's blessings are with Tej Pratap, then he will emerge as the best minister in the government", a BJP spokesperson tweeted taking a jibe at Shailesh.
