New Delhi (24/7 News Network): Upset over the seat sharing agreement between the RJD and LJP in Bihar, Lalu Prasad Yadav's brother-in-law Sadhu Yadav lashed out at the RJD supremo and joined the Congress today. He announced his decision to join the Congress at a press conference with Congress leaders Sushil Kumar Shinde and Iqbal Singh.
