Family matters in Bihar poll battle

Kumar Vikram / Mail Today
Whether it is the BJP, RJD, JD(U) or the newly-formed Hindustan Awami Morcha (HAM) led by Mahadalit leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, several second-generation names are in the race to enter the poll fray.
The list starts with Tej Pratap, who has the blessings of his parents — both former chief ministers — Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi. His candidature has already been announced for the Mahua Assembly constituency. The younger son Tejashwi Yadav will most probably be given the Sonpur seat.
The eldest among the Yadav siblings Misa Bharti might contest from the Raghopur.

BJP leaders are also not far behind in seeking fortunes for their sons in the upcoming political contest. Sources in the state BJP said that senior BJP leader from Bihar CP Thakur is trying for his son Vivek, a former MLC, from Digha Assembly seat.
BJP leader Maharaja Kamal Singh’s grandson Shivang Vijay is also trying to get the ticket from the Dumraon seat. The Saffron party’s Sasaram MP Chhedi Paswan is lobbying for his son Ravi Paswan from Chenari. Former state minister Jagdanand Singh’s son Sudhakar Singh is also vying for the Ramgarh seat. more
