"Lalu Prasad is trying to calm down the discontentment within his family. He has himself planted the seed of discontentment by breaking the age-old tradition as per which the eldest son is the successor to the throne...
"But Lalu declared younger son Tejashwi as his heir by making him the Deputy Chief Minister over his eldest daughter (Misa Bharti) and elder son (Tej Pratap Yadav)," he claimed.
"There is a cold war going on inside Prasad's family at present. The discontentment in his family is not going to end and will explode any day," Modi said.
"Similarly, they (Tejashwi and Tej Pratap) should also oppose the presence of people like Mohammad Shahabuddin and Raj Ballabh Yadav, MLA charged with raping a minor girl, in RJD," he said, adding, "This will help them in creating their own identities like Akhilesh Yadav."
Lalu Prasad's daughter is married to Tej Pratap Singh Yadav, the Mainpuri MP and the grandson of Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Sushil Modi, the former deputy chief minister of Bihar, was talking to mediapersons on the sidelines of his weekly Janata Darbar.
He further claimed the ongoing fight in Mulayam Singh's family will benefit BJP in the hustings in the state.
"This is good for us. They should continue their fight.... We will get to derive benefit from this in UP polls," he said.
