Bihar election result: Tej Pratap's father-in-law Chandrika Rai loses to RJD candidate

India Today  

Seasoned politician Chandrika Rai, who had quit Rashtriya Janata Dal after his daughter Aishwarya Rai’s marriage with party chief Lalu Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap failed, has lost the election from his bastion the Parsa Assembly seat. Interestingly, Chandrika Rai, who had fought the poll on a Janat Dal-United ticket, has been defeated by RJD candidate Chhote Lal Rai, who used to fight on this seat on a JDU ticket. The two leaders had switched parties before Assembly elections after relations between two RJD families, headed by Chandrika Rai and Lalu Yadav, turned sour over the marital dispute. Chandrika Rai, who had won this seat in 2015 with a margin of over 42,000 votes, has lost to Chhote Lal Rai with a margin of 17,293 votes, the EC data says.
