Once considered to be extremely close to Lalu Prasad, Ramkripal Yadav’s issue is with not just the fact the Patliputra seat was taken away from him. A number of other political reasons are being cited for the same. After all, Lalu’s daughter Misa Bharti went all the way to Delhi to pacify uncle Ramkripal and in a rare gesture of magnanimity, offered him the Patliputra seat, too. But by then Ramkripal had connected with the BJP, thanks to Ram Vilas Paswan. A decision-making meeting had been held with BJP President Rajnath Singh by then. It is being said that Ramkripal had anyways made up his mind to quit the RJD, but due to some financial reasons, he was finding it tough to leave the party.
