Bihar polls 2015: Ram Vilas Paswan's son-in-law revolts over denial of ticket

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

The furious son-in-law held an emergency meeting of all district presidents of Dalit Sena, of which he is the President, and decided to burn the effigy of Ramvilas Paswan tomorrow to protest against the way tickets were distributed in the party.

Dalit Sena is an organisation of the weaker section launched by Ramvilas Paswan.

Sadhu, who wanted to enter the fray from Kutumba (reserved seat in Aurangabad district), breathed fire over the seat allotted to former chief minister and HAM founder Jitan Ram Manjhi's son Santosh Kumar Suman.

Sadhu said he was not given a ticket though Ramvilas Paswan's younger brother Pashupati Kumar Paras and Prince Raj, son of Ramchandra Paswan another brother of the LJP 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 PTI.

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