Patna: Taking a swipe at Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s absence from the Mahagathbandhan’s manifesto cover, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Wednesday remarked that Tejashwi Yadav now considers his father a “villain,” just as the people of Bihar do.Choudhary added that earlier, it was the people of the state who referred to Lalu Yadav as a villain, but now even the Mahagathbandhan has done the same. “The people of Bihar used to consider the national president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal a villain, but now even the Rashtriya Janata Dal has started considering him a…
