										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After former Bihar minister, Tej Pratap Yadav claimed that his father, RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, is being held hostage in Delhi, his younger brother, Tejashwi Yadav, said that such statements do not reflect his father&#8217;s &#8220;stature,&#8221; as he was previously the state&#8217;s chief minister.</p>
<p>Tej Pratap alleged on Saturday that, despite Lalu&#8217;s release from the prison about a year ago, he is being &#8220;kept captive in Delhi&#8221; by others who aspire to be the RJD&#8217;s national leader.</p>
<p>He was quoted as saying by ANI: “My father is unwell. There are 4-5 people in the party who’ve seen the dream of becoming Rashtriya Janata Dal’s national chief. He was released nearly a year ago from jail but is being held hostage in Delhi,”.</p>
