During this, many leaders including party’s state president Umesh Kushwaha and minister Vijay Chaudhary were present. Shyam Rajak had resigned from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on 22 August.
Shyam Rajak had given a deep message in his resignation from RJD on 22nd August by referring to chess and pieces. He had said that I was not an expert chess player. That is why I was deceived. You were moving the pieces, I was maintaining the relationship. He alleged that the development that should have happened in Phulwari Sharif did not happen, I am sad about this, the public is also sad about this. I had access to the kitchens of the people of Phulwari Sharif, but I regret the lack of development there.
Shyam Rajak attacked Tejashwi Yadav as soon as he returned to JDU. On the question of reservation, he said that agitations cannot be done by sitting in closed rooms. They should come out on the streets and sweat. Nitish Kumar conducted caste-based census in Bihar and decided to increase the scope of reservation. Now the matter is in the Supreme Court. He said that I have full faith in Nitish Kumar, so I am returning to JDU.
