Bihar politicos grow weary of Tej Pratap’s tantrums

Patna: The political fraternity in Bihar, cutting across party lines, on Tuesday seemed unimpressed with the latest rhetoric of Lalu Prasad’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav, who has announced on Twitter that he will tender his “resignation”.

Tej Pratap’s younger brother Tejashwi, who is running the party in their father’s absence, reacted with uncharacteristic exasperation when faced with prying journalists. The ruling NDA, for which trouble in the RJD camp is always good news, too seemed impatient with “beating around the bush” by Tej Pratap and suspected that he might backtrack.
