New Delhi, Nov 23 (UNI) Reacting sharply to RJD chief Lalu Yadav’s son Tej Pratap Yadav’s threat to assault deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, the JD(U) on Thursday said the people will send them (RJD) to “final pavilion” in the upcoming general elections, if he continues with his barbs.

Talking to UNI, JDU General Secretary Sanjay Jha said, “What one could expect from him (Tej Pratap Yadav). I don’t know with what enculturation did he join the politics? Earlier, leaders across the party lines used to meet in social gatherings, marriages and other functions. But he wants to take Bihar into an era of 15 years of RJD regime.”

Stating that the party has taken a decisive call to snap ties with the RJD, the JD(U) senior leader said, “It’s good that we got rid of them. The kind of language he used is not in good taste. The people of Bihar will suitably teach them a lesson in the next election. The people in 2019 will send the party in the final pavilion.”

A video surfaced on Wednesday purportedly showing Mr Yadav threatening to disrupt the wedding of Modi's son scheduled next month.

In a public gathering at Bihar’s Aurangabad, the former health minister had said, “I have been invited by Sushil Modi to attend the wedding of his son. If I go there I will expose him in public.”
