Tej Pratap Yadav, Bihar Health Minister and elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Sunday announced the formation of the Dharmanirpeksha Sevak Sangh (DSS), a youth organisation, to counter the RSS and its 'communal agenda'.
A report in The Hindu said that the young RJD MLA from Mahua in Vaishali district is trying to counter the "divisive ideologies of the RSS"
"Today RSS is spreading religious fanaticism… fanning out its divisive ideology in the country but the DSS will counter them,” he told journalists in Patna while leading a rath yatra along with supporters, the report further added.
Also slamming outfits like the Hindu Yuva Vahini, a youth cultural organisation formed by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath which, he said were "trying to make inroads in Bihar too", the 29-year-old first-time MLA assured that the "DSS will emerge as a strong counter to them as it has been formed with a vow to establish peace and amity.”

BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi in a word of advice asked Tej Yadav to join the RSS first and gain a year's experience. “I wish his organisation all success, but first he should have some experience of it by joining RSS for a year by wearing shorts and chanting Bharat Mata ki Jai,”, the report quoted him as saying.
To this, Yadav reportedly retorted “those who wear half-pants have half-minds too.”
