Disregard for moral values weakens our struggle: Lalu Yadav

The activities, public conduct and irresponsible behaviour of the eldest son are not in accordance with our family values and traditions. Therefore, due to the above circumstances, I am removing him from the party and the family. From now on, he will not have any role of any kind in the party and the family.

The obedient members of the family have adopted and followed this idea in public life. Thank you.

Tejashwi further said that our party president has made his feelings clear on this and since he has said so, it is his personal feeling. We did not raise any question on such things. No one asks anyone what he is doing in his personal life. I also got information about this through the media.
