BJP wooing Ram Kripal Yadav

Rashtriya Janata Dal declared the names of 23 candidates for upcoming 2014 General Elections on Thursday. The name of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's wife Rabri Devi and his daughter Misa Bharti figures in the list.

Lalu himself cannot contest the polls as he was convicted in the fodder scam last year by a special CBI court. At present he is out on bail.

Misa, who is Lalu's first born, has been given the ticket from Pataliputra seat. Lalu's sons Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejashwi are both too young to contest elections, though both are in active politics.

Rabri, 54, has got the ticket from Chhapra. Rabri had lost the 2010 Bihar Assembly polls in the two constituencies that she contested, namely, Raghopur and Sonepur.

Meanwhile, in trouble for Lalu, senior party leader Ram Kripal Yadav who is a Rajya Sabha MP, resigned from the party today, as per reports. His name did not figure in the list announced today. He reportedly wanted to contest from Pataliputra and was unhappy with the seat being given to Misa.
