RJD chief Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti on Saturday made it clear that she will contest from Patliputra and hit back at party leader Ramkripal Yadav for dubbing her efforts to reach out to him as 'nautanki'.
"Opposing a woman and calling her efforts 'nautanki' (drama) on International Women's Day on Saturday is an insult to women," an agitated Misa told reporters at the residence of her mother and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi.
"I am really upset at my sincere efforts to reach out to him being called emotional blackmail and 'nautanki'," said Misa who had reached out to 'chacha' (uncle) Yadav on Friday after he was angered by denial of a ticket to contest from the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.
"...in fact, he did a 'nautanki' by announcing his resignation at a press conference at Delhi before I could do anything after reaching Patna on Saturday morning."
Moreover, Yadav, the Secretary General of RJD and also its Parliamentary board member who still has two years to go in the Rajya Sabha, did not stake claim to the Patliputra seat in front of Lalu Prasad, she said.
Misa evaded a direct reply when reporters asked whether action would be taken against Yadav for going against the party decision.
"I am not the party president. It is for him to decide over this or talk about this," Misa, the eldest of the nine children of Prasad, said.
