2015 Bihar Assembly Elections - RJD chief Lalu Prasad's sons make debut in Bihar electoral politics

 

Following their father’s footsteps, the two sons of RJD chief Lalu Prasad today entered electoral politics. Their names were announced by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the ensuing five-phase Assembly polls in Bihar.

 

Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejaswi Yadav will contest from Yadav-dominated Mahua and Raghopur seats respectively as per the list of candidates for the ‘Grand Secular Alliance’ announced by Kumar. 

Both the seats in Vaishali district were with the JD(U) in 2010. Apprehending the reverse, Mahua MLA Ravindra Rai has joined HAM (S) and is nominated by that party while at Raghopur, Satish Kumar, who had defeated Rabri Devi in 2010, has joined BJP which has fielded him from the seat.
