Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter Misa Bharti is leading in the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat. In a surprise twist in the third rematch between Lalu Prasad Yadav’s eldest daughter Misa Bharti and BJP’s Ram Kripal Yadav, the former is leading the numbers in the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.

In 2014, Misa Bharti, made her debut and contested the elections but lost against Kripal Yadav who won the seat with 3.8 lakh votes. Not giving up, Misa, a Rajya Sabha MP, tried her luck once again in the 2019 elections. The rematch between the two yielded the same results: RJD had failed to win the seat again.

Bihar’s Patliputra Lok Sabha constituency came into existence in 2009, and since then, former chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family have failed to secure the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.

Pataliputra is one of the 40 parliamentary constituencies of Bihar with 16.5 lakh population.

Meanwhile, sister Rohini Acharya, who is contesting in the Saran Lok Sabha seat, has now been trailing, according to latest trends. Her opponent and BJP candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy has picked up and is now leading from the Saran seat. This is Rudy’s fourth rematch with a member of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Yadav’s clan for the Saran parliamentarian seat in the Lok Sabha elections.

Four-time MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy first faced political stalwart Lalu Prasad himself in the race to win the Saran (formerly known as Chapra) Lok Sabha seat in 2009. However, the people chose RJD over the saffron party. In 2014, Rudy’s opponent was Lalu Prasad’s wife and former chief minister Rabri Devi, who lost the seat by a margin of 40,000 votes.

In the 2019 election, Rudy again defeated RJD’s Chandrika Roy, the father-in-law of Lalu’s son, Tej Pratap Yadav. With a substantial margin of 1.38 lakh votes, the active airline pilot won a second term.
