Tejasvi Yadav

A Delhi court on Friday summoned RJD chief Lalu Prasad, his wife and former Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi, and their son and current Deputy Chief Minister of the state Tejasvi Yadav in a case related to an alleged land-for-job scam in the railways.

BJP leader Tejasvi Surya's praise on Twitter for what he called "Yogi Ji's expressway" in Uttar Pradesh has drawn a caustic comeback from Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav.

In a veiled attack on RJD's Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, new President of BJP's youth wing Tejasvi Surya said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has "created more job opportunities in Bihar than any other government". The Karnataka MP, who replaced Poonam Mahajan, added he will head to poll-bound Bihar tomorrow and strengthen the party there.

One of the first political reactions to former Union Minister P Chidambaram's arrest from his residence in Delhi's Jor Bagh by investigation agencies on Wednesday night came from Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya. "Howsoever mighty you may be, the law is above you," he tweeted.

By-elections for one parliament and two assembly seats in Bihar are being pegged as a Chief Minister Nitish Kumar vs RJD's Tejasvi Yadav contest, the first big political battle since Mr Kumar dissolved his "grand alliance" and partnered with the BJP last year.

At a time when more than one party is retiring top leaders, offering them the fig leave of serving on mentorship committees, Lalu Yadav today said that "Nitish Kumar (the Bihar Chief Minister) and I are both getting older, how much longer will we go on, it's time for young leaders to take over." Conveniently, Lalu, as he is known, has a succession ...

It's well-known now Lalu Yadav is a fan of Hema Malini - he brought her up during campaign speeches and even named one of his daughters after her. The actor-politician's show in Bihar's Patna on Tuesday again brought out the fanboy in the former Chief Minister.

Lalu Yadav has been stepping in quite often for his older son, Bihar Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav, provoking endless jibes about "proxy" rule.

For those uncomfortable with parties built around dynasties, some amount of steadying of nerves may be required. Lalu Prasad Yadav, Bihar leader and expert quip-maker, has declared, "Who else but my son will be my successor?"

Lalu Prasad's wife Rabri Devi has said she and her son will run his party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal or RJD, like "Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi run the Congress." But Mr Prasad has reportedly sent word from the Ranchi jail he is lodged in that there is no plan yet to appoint an interim leader.
