Rashtriya Janata Dal MLA Tej Pratap Yadav, the politically inexperienced older son of Lalu Yadav, was third in line to be sworn in today as a minister in Bihar’s Nitish Kumar government. At the mega swearing-in ceremony of Nitish Kumar’s return as Bihar Chief Minister, Tej Pratap Yadav, was interrupted twice by Governor Ram Nath Kovind and asked to repeat his oath after he misspelled a word. He was asked by Governor Ramnath Kovind to repeat his oath after a flub; he had said “Upekshit (neglected)” instead of “Apekshit (expectations)”. Even in his second attempt, he fumbled on another word.

Lalu’s elder son Tej won from the Mahua constituency by a margin of 28,155 votes, his younger son Tejashwi won the Raghopur assembly seat by a margin of 22,733 votes. Lalu’s oldest Misa contested the Lok Sabha election but lost. She was present at the swearing in ceremony along with two more sisters. Misa, Tej Pratap and Tejaswi are the only ones among Lalu’s nine children to join politics.
