New Delhi: Hours after Raghuvansh Prasad Singh , veteran leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) announced his resignation, the party supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav wrote to him stating that he would discuss the matter with him.
Raghuvansh Prasad Singh has been one of Lalu’s oldest allies and he has been with him since Janata Dal days.
The 74-year-old leader sent off a handwritten missive to Lalu, saying, “After (former Chief Minister and socialist icon) Karpuri Thakur’s death, I stood by you for 32 years, but no more.”
Lalu took no time in replying to former and close aide and replied back.
In the letter, the RJD supremo wrote, “A letter written by you is making rounds in the media. I can’t believe it. I, my family and the RJD family would like to see you get well soon and be among us. In the last four decades, we have discussed every political, social and even family matters together. Get well soon and we will talk. You are not going anywhere, understand this.”
Singh, who is considered close to RJD founder Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family, is currently undergoing treatment for some health complication at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.
Resignation of Raghuvansh Prasad Singh comes as big jolt to the party.
According to reports, Singh was unhappy with talks of former Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) MP from Vaishali, Rama Singh, joining the RJD.
Earlier in June, Singh had resigned from the post of the National Vice President of the RJD.
He had questioned the functioning of Bihar RJD President Jagdanand Singh.
