PATNA: Barbs started flying in the corridors of politics days before RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s younger son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav embarks on the third leg of Samvidhan Bachao Nyay (save constitution justice) Yatra from October 21.The former deputy CM will tour 10 districts in the state during his yatra, which will culminate on November 2. RJD functionaries claimed Tejashwi would hold public rallies in districts, including Gopalganj, Chhapra, Siwan, Motihari, Bettiah , Sitamarhi, Nalanda, Nawada and Jehanabad.The JD(U) took a dig at Tejashwi’s yatra. “Tejashwi should go on a prayayschit (atonement) yatra to seek apology from people of Bihar for the countless properties illegally amassed by him and his family for years. Besides, he should tell people why he is not taking action against corrupt people and criminals in his own party? Is it necessary that one has to side with criminal and corrupt forces for the cause of social justice and secularism?” JD(U) spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said.RJD spokesperson Chitranjan Gagan, on the other hand, said JD(U) and BJP are jealous of Tejashwi’s growing popularity. “The fascist and communal forces were suffering from Lalu phobia and now they consider Tejashwi even bigger obstacle for them. They are hatching every conspiracy possible to attack him, but in vain. They are scared that while thousands of people turn up to hear Tejashwi, BJP and JD(U) have to arrange people for their public meetings,” Gagan said.RJD state chief spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav said: “Tejashwi ji will tell people about the volatile situation in the country under the NDA government led by PM Narendra Modi. There is an undeclared emergency in the country, as is evident with the rampant misuse of central agencies like CBI, Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax. he will also tell people about the failures of Bihar government led by Nitish Kumar in terms of crime, corruption and other issues.”Sources said directives have been issued by the RJD to its district units to make proper arrangements for Tejashwi’s yatra.Earlier, Tejashwi had launched the first leg of Samvidhan Bachao Yatra in August last year from Motihari, followed by its second leg in February this year. RJD functionaries said the districts left out in the first two legs will be covered in this phase of the yatra.
