Patna: Lok Janshakti Party President Ram Vilas Paswan's son-in-law Anil Kumar Sadhu today raised a revolt against him over denial of ticket for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections and announced his decision to field Dalit Sena candidates in all the districts to defeat nominees of the BJP-led NDA.

A furious Mr Sadhu held an emergency meeting of all district presidents of Dalit Sena, of which he is the President, and decided to burn the effigy of Ram Vilas Paswan tomorrow to protest against the way tickets were distributed in the party.

Dalit Sena is an organisation the weaker section launched by Ram Vilas Paswan.

Mr Sadhu, who wanted to enter the fray from Kutumba, expressed his unhappiness over the seat allotted to former chief minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha founder Jitan Ram Manjhi's son Santosh Kumar Suman.

Mr Sadhu said he was not given a ticket though Ram Vilas Paswan's younger brother Pashupati Kumar Paras and Prince Raj, son of Ramchandra Paswan another brother of the Lok Janshakti Party chief were given tickets.

"But, my claim has been given a damn despite the fact that I had got 53,000 votes from Masaurhi seat in 2010 election," Sadhu told Press Trust India.

He said his wife would join him in opposing the LJP chief and campaign against NDA nominees across Bihar.
