RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav aims to launch 'Badlav Yatra' and 'Lalu Prasad Yadav movement' in Bihar for father

With the Lok Sabha elections right around the corner, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav will launch a pan Bihar "Badlav Yatra" and "Lalu Prasad Yadav (LP)" movement from January 20 in support of jailed RJD leader.

"The Badlav Yatra will take place all over the Bihar. All sections of society including students will have massive participation in it and we will reach out to the common people," said Tej Pratap.

While elaborating about the "Lalu Prasad (LP)" Yadav movement, he said that the movement is in support of his father Lalu Prasad Yadav and other common people who are in jail.

"He has been falsely implicated in cases and sent to jail. Not only Lalu Yadav but even the common people are suffering because many of them have been sent to jail in false cases," said Tej Pratap Yadav.

He said that his party along with all other partners of the "grand-alliance" will discuss and devise a strategy on how to fight the upcoming Lok-Sabha elections.

"We along with parties in Mahagathbandhan will discuss how to fight the Lok-Sabha elections," he said.
