By declaring that Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Modi could stay in whichever bungalow he wanted, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) President Lalu Prasad sought to bring the curtains down on the row between his son and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader over the 5, Deshratna Marg house. Prasad’s son, Tejashwi Yadav, lost the official bungalow after the Grand Alliance government — of which the RJD was a constituent — was dissolved by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Janata Dal (United) formed a government with the BJP in July. Modi had a word of advice for Yadav after Prasad’s gesture: “He (Yadav) is single and not married. Unmarried people should stay with their parents.” Yadav is said to have never stayed in the bungalow, but used to meet well-wishers there. He lived with his parents at 10, Circular Road.
