RJD Chief Laloo Prasad Yadav and his two sons have stirred a fresh controversy today. Laloo’s elder son Tej Prathap Yadav and his younger son Tejaswi Yadav both are contesting in the Bihar Assembly elections that commences from October 12th.
While the elder one is contesting from Mahua Assembly constituency in Vaishali district, the younger one is contesting from Raghopur Assembly constituency. They both submitted their nomination papers along with elections affidavits in which the elder one Tej Prathap mentioned his age as 25 years and the younger one as 26 years. It means the younger brother is bigger than elder brother as per their affidavits submitted to elections officers.
If, someone else is there in their place, certainly they may try to rectify the mistake before it is too late. But, Laloo Prasad Yadav and his two sons strongly defend themselves and arguing that they did not commit any mistakes. They argue that they exactly mentioned the same age that was mentioned in their voters cards. Laloo Prasad Yadav says he can’t help it. Tej Prathap Singh said he can’t give wrong information in the elections affidavit. So, mentioned the same that was in his voter card.
Being served as Chief Minister of the state, Laloo Prasad Yadav might know what happens if intentionally submit wrong information in the elections affidavit. The elections officer may reject their nominations and also can recommend the EC for further legal proceedings against them. But, Laloo and his two sons stick to their arguments. Let us hope election commission will take appropriate action against them.
