September 14, 2022 23:48
Rashtriya Janata Dal's founding president Lalu Prasad on Wednesday drove to his party office in Patna, after a gap of several years which were marred by imprisonment and ill health.
Prasad's arrival at the Birchand Patel Marg office at around 3 30 pm was joyously hailed by party members who have been in a state of elation since the "Mahagathbandhan", helmed by the RJD, formed a government in Bihar last month.
The haggard-looking septuagenarian, who wore a T-shirt and track pants, his preferred attire these days, was welcomed by state party chief Jagadanand Singh, among others.
His younger son Tejashwi Yadav, who has become the deputy CM, also came rushing upon hearing about his father's visit to the party's state headquarters.
"Our national president finalised the programme for the party's national executive and an open session in Delhi next month", senior RJD leaders Shyam Rajak and Uday Narayan Chaudhary told reporters afterwards.
They said the national executive will be held near Jantar Mantar on October 09, followed by the open session at Talkatora Stadium a day later. -- PTI
