Before claiming ‘Jan Nayak’ title, Tejashwi should seek explanation from his father over insult to Karpoori Thakur: Neeraj

Patna, Jan 24 (UNI) The Janata Dal (United) today questioned the Opposition Leader Tejaswi Yadav for claiming Jan Nayak title and asked him to first seek an explanation from his father, RJD chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad, over an alleged insult to Bharat Ratna Karpoori Thakur.
JD(U) chief state spokesperson and Member of the Legislative Council Neeraj Kumar said here that those claiming the political legacy of Karpoori Thakur should clarify their past actions before adopting titles associated with the veteran socialist leader. His remarks came on the occasion of the 102nd birth anniversary of Karpoori Thakur.
In a post on social media platform X, Neeraj Kumar referred to a letter written by Lalu Prasad during his tenure, which he said reflected disrespect towards Karpoori Thakur. He questioned why those who claim to follow Karpoori Thakur’s ideals and seek the Jan Nayak title have remained silent on the issue.
