Will play flute after Tejashwi becomes Bihar CM, says Tej Pratap

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav on Sunday said that he will play flute only when his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav will become Chief Minister of Bihar.

"Everyone keeps asking when I will play the flute. I want to say that I will play flute after Tejashwai becomes Bihar CM," said Tej Pratap while addressing "Berozgaari Hatao Yatra" rally at Veterinary College Ground here on Sunday.

"Our enemies want to divide our family but nobody can divide us. They all want to defame me as I am the real Lalu Yadav," he added.

'Berozgaari Hatao Yatra' is being organised by the RJD in view of the state assembly elections to be held later this year. Tejashwi Yadav led the rally in Patna today. It will be held in every district of the state.

The assembly polls in the 243 seats Bihar assembly is likely to take place in October this year.

In the last election in 2015, the BJP won 53 seats, ruling JDU which was then a part of Mahagathbandhan won 71, and RJD won 80, Congress only bagged 27, while Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha managed to won only 1 and Rashtriya Lok Samta Party won two seats.
