Netas and Their Betas: Legendary Duos in Indian Politics

Lalu and Tejaswi Yadav

Lalu Prasad Yadav, president of Rashtriya Janata Dal has his successor ready for stepping into the political arena. The younger Yadav, Tejaswi, has said goodbye to cricket and will be joining his father in the Indian politics. Lalu’s faith in his offsprings has encouraged them to become a part of the system, leaving behind their passion. In Lalu’s Privartan Rally held in May 2013, he had announced the upcoming roles of his sons.

Tejaswi Yadav has been a part of the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League. He has decided to make himself free from cricket because he was unable to completely dedicate himself to politics. Junior Yadav stresses on entry of new blood in the Indian politics that can bring a change in the functioning of politics. In 2010, Tejaswi campaigned extensively for assembly elections but was disappointed as he could not make a great impact.
