Muzaffarpur: Reward of Rs 5,100 announced for locating Tejashwi Yadav

Posters announcing a reward of Rs 5,100 for the person who finds out Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav were seen in the city on Friday.

Recently, the Janata Dal-United (JDU) attacked Tejashwi for allegedly disappearing from the scene after the results of the Lok Sabha elections were announced and has demanded his arrest for deserting his parents under the newly revised Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act in the state.

In a statement, JDU chief spokesperson Sanjay Singh had said: "Tejashwi has deserted his mother and imprisoned father and has disappeared somewhere. From the day the Lok Sabha results were announced, he is not to be found anywhere. He has never given a thought to what will happen to his father and mother in his absence."

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has amended the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act in the state, which has provisions for strong action against the persons who do not take care of their ageing parents.

"Lalu Prasad Yadav is ill and incarcerated and admitted in a hospital. At the same time, Rabri Devi has also got older. Both have made Tejashwi their inheritor but he has disappeared," Singh had said in the statement.
