Mrityunjay Tiwari Quits RJD Amid Internal Party Friction

Tiwari’s departure marks a significant rupture for the RJD, particularly given his long-standing history with the leadership. He noted that he began his tenure as a media in-charge in 2014 following a direct request from national president Lalu Prasad Yadav. Despite his contributions to the party's growth over the last twenty years, he claims his repeated grievances regarding disrespectful treatment by colleagues were ignored by senior figures, including Tejashwi Yadav.

Following a meeting with state president Mangni Lal Mandal, Tiwari released a video statement confirming his exit. While he maintains personal respect for Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, his disillusionment with the current party environment is clear. He is now consulting with his supporters to plot his next political trajectory, with local speculation mounting that he may pivot toward the BJP.
