Brothers Up In Arms

Will the family rift now tear up the RJD ranks? Peeved over his wife being denied a ticket, RJD chief Laloo Yadav’s controversial brother-in-law Sadhu Yadav is fielding Indira from Gopalganj as an independent. And with the ‘cadre’ behind her, it’ll be tough going for official RJD nominee Ambika Yadav. Sadhu denies he’s going against his own, but adds, "I’m with the RJD, but that does not mean my wife can’t fight the polls." Laloo’s managed to rein in another brother-in-law Subhash Yadav (also an MP) though, who wanted a ticket for better half Renu. Meanwhile, brother Prabhunath Yadav is an independent candidate from Mirganj.
