RJD chief Lalu Prasad battled a revolt by senior colleagues after fielding his daughter as a candidate in the coming Lok Sabha election and denying ticket to other aspirants. Lalu Prasad announced the names of candidates for 25 of the 27 constituencies his Rashtriya Janata Dal will contest in alliance with the Congress in Bihar on Thursday in which daughter Misa Bharti will be the RJD nominee in Patliputra in Patna and wife Rabri Devi in Saran.
Some of the party's influential leaders were furious that he had given ticket to his daughter and ignored their interests. Senior RJD leader Ramkirpal Yadav, a Rajya Sabha MP who has been close to Lalu Prasad for over two decades is upset and feels betrayed and cheated by Lalu who had promised to field him from Patliputra.
Another senior RJD leader, Ghulam Ghaus, has said he will contest as an independent from West Champaran after the party denied him the ticket. Suresh Paswan is another RJD leader and former minister who had revolted against Lalu Prasad, saying committed leaders now have no place in the party. Another man who is angry in the RJD is former minister Iliyas Hussain, who has not been picked as a candidate.
