Let’s see who gets the RJD ticket,” he said.Maintaining that scheduled caste voters were not LJP's “bonded labourers”, Sadhu said said his father Punit Rai represented Fatuha assembly constituency for five consecutive terms from 1980 onwards.Ram Vilas, it may be mentioned, has been at times accused of practising nepotism in his party.
