RJD's leadership tangle after Lalu Prasad's incarceration
Jail for Lalu Prasad in the fodder scam has meant that it is power by proxy once again in the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD), with the party today reposing faith in the collective leadership of the former Bihar chief minister and his wife Rabri Devi to take the party into the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Last week, speculation was rife that Mr Prasad may look beyond his family to appoint an interim head to run the day-to-day affairs of the RJD. But, at a party meeting in Patna today, it was Rabri Devi, flanked by her two sons, Tejaswi and Tej Pratap, who called the shots.
