Rajiv Pratap Rudy seeks a hattrick in Saran against the might of Lalu's family

Hindustan Times  

For voters of Bihar’s Saran Lok Sabha constituency, the contest between Rashtriya Janata Dal patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family and the Bharatiya Janata Party’s veteran leader Rajiv Pratap Rudy is nothing new. In the past two Lok Sabha elections, it was a direct fight between Rudy and RJD candidates linked to the Lalu Yadav family. In 2014, Rudy trounced Yadav’s wife and ex-Bihar chief minister Rabri Devi by 40,000 votes, whereas in 2019, he sent Chandrika Rai, father-in-law of Yadav’s son Tej Pratap Yadav, packing, with a margin to 1.38 lakh votes. Speaking in the presence of RJD’s two biggest crowd pullers, her father and younger brother, Tejashwi Yadav, Acharya demonstrated that she could hold her own as she compared the father's track record with Rudy’s.
