Tej Pratap Yadav is the elder son of RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. There have been reports of power tussle between him and his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav on who would be the rightful heir of his father to lead the political party.
Bihar, under his father Lalu Prasad Yadav's rule, was synonymous with 'Jungle Raj' where nothing but crime and chaos ruled. Kidnappings were an 'industry' for the fifteen years 'First Lalu' ruled Bihar.
