PATNA: RJD president Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, who was recently expelled from the party, on Friday announced that he has floated a new outfit for “a long battle” in Bihar. The former state minister shared on X a poster of the ‘Jan Shakti Janata Dal’, with himself as the “national president” and a “blackboard” as its poll symbol.
Sources in the Election Commission here, however, said they were so far not aware of the party getting registered and being allotted a symbol. In August, Yadav had claimed that a coalition of five little-known parties has come into being under his leadership. The Assembly elections in Bihar are due later this year.
