RJD man may join BJP after claiming assault by Lalu's son 
Speaking at a press conference organised by BJP leader Sushil Modi, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)  leader Sanoj Yadav has said that he is considering joining the BJP. This comes after Yadav made allegations that RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's son Tej Pratap had beaten him up during an Iftar party on June 23.
RJD leader, Sanoj Yadav who was allegedly beaten by RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son and health minister Tej Pratap Yadav has declared that he will be joining BJP soon. Yadav alleged he was beaten by Tej Pratap on June 23, the day Lalu hosted Iftar party at his official residence."I was humiliated by Tej Pratap despite having served the party for last 30 years. I never expected this from Lalu's son", said Sanoj Yadav, former RJD leader.According to sources, Sanoj Yadav, despite not being a official spokesperson of RJD was present on a television debate on June 22 where he was to defend Lalu and his family over allegations of corruption being leveled on them. Yadav, incidentally could not properly defend Lalu on the debate, which infuriated Tej Pratap. An angry Tej Pratap, when saw Sanoj Yadav at Lalu's Iftaar, he not only misbehaved with him but also beat him up."It's shocking that when Tej Pratap was abusing and thrashing me, Lalu was sitting a mute spectator like a "Dhritrashtra". Perhaps he was also scared of his son and did not intervene", said the former RJD leader.Soon after the incident, Sanoj Yadav resigned from all the post of the RJD and said that he was also fearing for his life from Tej Pratap Yadav. He said that, following the incident, BJP leader Sushil Modi contacted him and asked him to come and meet him at his Junta Durbar today. After meeting Modi on Tuesday, Yadav declared that he was soon going to join BJP.
