Rebel Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Ram Kripal Yadav on Wednesday joined the BJP and heaped praise on the party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
A long-time associate of lalu Prasad, Ram Kripal accused the RJD chief of promoting family interests at the cost of social justice. Yadav joined the BJP in presence of party president Rajnath Singh, former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar Sushil Kumar Modi and BJP’s deputy leader of the Rajya Sabha Ravi Shankar Prasad. Yadav was keen to contest from the Pataliputra seat which the RJD has allotted to lalu’s daughter Misa Bharti.
