Patna, June 21: Posters featuring 'missing' Tejashwi Yadav, younger son of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, was seen in Bihar on Friday. According to a tweet by ANI, the poster, which was found in Muzaffarpur, announced a reward of Rs 5,100 for the person who finds Tejashwi Yadav. The Lok Sabha Elections 2019, was the RJD’s first election without Lalu on the scene, which was believed to be a test of Tejashwi’s leadership. Tejashwi Yadav Mentions Priyanka Chopra's Wedding Reception to Attack PM Narendra Modi.
After RJD's poor show in Lok Sabha Elections 2019, Tejashwi Yadav has been keeping a low-profile and hardly made a public appearance. Even when the Nitish Kumar- government faces a lot of flak due to rising death cases due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) in Muzaffarpur, Tejasvi Yadav, being the opposition leader in Bihar assembly, hasn't been vocal enough against the administration.
