Race for Bihar RJD president heats up before assembly elections

New Indian Express  

PATNA: With the present incumbent Jagdanand Singh unwilling to continue on his post due to his advanced age and associated health complications, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his younger son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav have scaled up their efforts to find his replacement. Since state assembly election is due in October-November this year, Lalu-Tejashwi will pay special attention to select such a leader as the state RJD president who can help the party to broaden its support base not only among its traditional Muslim-Yadav voters but also among other social groups. If RJD leaders are to be believed, Jagadanand Singh has not visited the party headquarters on Bir Chanda Patel Marg after the by-elections were held on four assembly seats in November. The focus of the meeting will be on broadening the party's support base and keeping its MLAs intact as the ruling alliance will try to create a rift ahead of the assembly elections.
