Tejashwi Yadav Will Not Resign Like Rahul Gandhi: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)

Patna: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Thursday made it clear that party leader Tejashwi Yadav will not give in to demands for his resignation and will continue as the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly. The RJD’s assertion came as Yadav finally made an appearance in the state Assembly after failing to attend the ongoing Monsoon Session for four consecutive days till Wednesday. On Saturday, the cricketer-turned-politician had clarified on Twitter that he had been undergoing treatment. Following the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) elections debacle and Yadav’s long absence from the state thereafter demands have been growing for his resignation. Leaders of other parties, as well as ally Congress in the Assembly, want Yadav to follow in the footsteps of their party chief Rahul Gandhi who stepped down from his post taking responsibility for his party’s defeat in the Lok Sabha polls.
