Tejaswi Yadav dismisses sister becoming Bihar RJD chief

PATNA: Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav today dismissed the reports of RJD President Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti heading the party in the state, saying that such reports "lack content".

In reply to a question, Tejaswi Yadav, younger brother of Bharti, told reporters that he had seen the reports concerning her in social media and some newspapers.

Dismissing the reports he said "those lacked content".

The election of the stare RJD President is fixed for January 2, 2016.

The possibility of Bharti has been triggered by senior RJD legislator and former minister Illiyas Hussain who last week made a comment in her favour.

Hussain, who was elected from Dehri-On-Sone in Rohtas district, had recently talked about the chance of Lalu Prasad's MBBS degree holder eldest daughter heading the state unit to infuse young blood in the party.
