"Some people have been trying to instigate and mislead my son. It is possible that our rivals', BJP and JD-U, people may be behind it," she added.

"I miss Lalu ji...his absence is really painful. Without him everything is useless. Hope, he will come back soon," she added.

Earlier, Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav had taken a stern stand against Tej Pratap Yadav's demands wanting to get his close aides the Jehanabad and Sheohar seats for the ensuing elections. 

RJD on Sunday announced Syed Faisal Ali as the last candidate contesting from Sheohar seat in the Bihar Lok Sabha elections in which 40 seats are up for grabs. This announcement came as a major setback for Tej Pratap who wanted his close aides Chandra Prakash Yadav and  Angesh Singh for the Jehanabad and Sheohar candidacy.
