Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which is battling internal dissent with the party’s State unit chief Jagdanand Singh publicly sulking after his son Sudhakar Singh’s resignation and frequent outbursts by Cabinet Minister Tej Pratap Yadav, party’s national President Lalu Prasad Yadav, who was re-elected for the 12th time, issued a dire warning to party leaders against “speaking out of turn”.
During the party’s national convention, held at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi on Monday, it also amended the party’s constitution in order to empower both Lalu Prasad Yadav and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav as the final arbitrator of all decisions regarding the party’s “name, symbol and other related issues”. The phrase “other related issues” opens the entire gamut of possibilities.
