Patna (Bihar): A day after demanding action against RJD state unit president Jagdanand Singh, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad's eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav on Friday made a scathing attack on Sanjay Yadav, the political adviser of Tejashwi Prasad Yadav. Earlier in the day, Tej Pratap visited Tejashwi's residence demanding action against Singh.
While briefing the media, Tej Pratap said, "I had come here to speak to Tejashwi. But when I was about to talk to Tejashwi, Sanjay Yadav intervened and took him to another room. Sanjay Yadav has stopped me from meeting Tejashwi. He has become an obstacle between the two brothers. The media must ask him why he stopped me from talking with my brother. I will not keep quiet and I will reveal all the truths to the media."
Ever since the political ruckus was created in the RJD, it was speculated that something big will happen around the corner as Lalu's eldest son has broken all the norms and rules of the party.
Earlier on Thursday, Tej Pratap had attacked two senior-most leaders of the party, Jagdanand Singh and Shivanand Tiwari and also demanded action against them. He is doing all this since he is annoyed with the sacking of his close confidante Akash Yadav from the post of state student wing president.
Tej Pratap had not only demanded action against Singh but also threatened to drag him to court for violating the constitution of the party. Tej Pratap had also alleged that Singh was being influenced by RSS and wanted to break the party.
Sanjay Yadav has been close of RJD since the days of Lalu Yadav.

Political pundits opined that it is hard to digest that a private secretary can dare to stop Tej Pratap to meet his younger brother.
“I seriously doubt that Sanjay could have stopped Tej Pratap. As far as I can assume, Tejashwi must have refused to meet Tej Pratap in the backdrop of the embarrassing moments which his elder brother had created in the party. Tejashwi is maintaining distance from Tej Pratap so that people should understand that he is not supporting the indisciplined behaviour of his elder brother, " said Dr Sanjay Kumar, a Patna-based political expert.
He further said, "Tejashwi would never like to be a part of this ugly spat. He is sending a message to the RJD well-wishers that he has nothing to do with Tej Pratap's utterances. If Tejashwi had met Tej Pratap, then a message would have gone out that both brothers are on the same page which Tejashwi doesn't want.”
Earlier Tej Pratap took to Twitter, and took a jibe at Sanjay Yadav calling him a 'migratory adviser'. Tej Pratap tweeted, "The migrant adviser on whose instructions the party is running, he cannot get anyone from his family to be even made sarpanch in Haryana, how will he make my Arjun (Tejaswi) the chief minister. That migrant adviser is the only cause of the rift between the Lalu family and the RJD."
Meanwhile, the leader of opposition Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has decided to take strong action against Tej Pratap Yadav, who was involved in humiliating many senior leaders of the party.
"It's a different matter that he is my elder brother but our parents have taught us to give respect to the elders, it's in our culture and upbringing. One should also remain disciplined, "Tejashwi asserted.
