MOS HOME RAI MET ME BEFORE BECOMING MINISTER AND WANTED TO JOIN RJD: TEJASHWI

Patna, July 18 (UNI) Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav on Monday claimed that present Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai met him when he had not obtained the Union Minister’s post and sought to join his RJD. “He (Rai) came to me and requested me to take him to the RJD. He told me that he was not feeling well in BJP. Now, what would he say?” Tejashwi Yadav told media persons as he came out of the Assembly after casting the vote in the Presidential poll. In supporting opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha, he said: “I am not anti-women or anti-tribal women or against any other person who belongs to the tribal family, scheduled caste, or any extremely backward class. Draupadi Murmu Ji is a very decent lady and I have much respect for her but our stand is clear. We are supporting Yashwant Sinha as he has put his points in the public domain. Every person who casts their vote always chooses candidates on the basis of what promises they made during the election campaign.
