Ahead of polls, Bihar tries to figure out how Lalu's younger son is older than his elder brother

Meanwhile in Bihar, RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap is younger than his second son. That’s what their voter identity cards indicate, anyway. The older boy, Tej Pratap has stated his age as 25 whereas the younger brother Tejaswi has listed his as 26. If you want to be logical in the exercise then Tej being the elder brother should be older than his younger brother and not younger than his younger brother. And if this puzzle has you all knotted up you are not the only one.

Naturally, the BJP has grabbed the opportunity and the party general secretary even said that if Lalu cannot keep his house in order how is he going to manage the state. The other funny part is that Tejaswi is shown as having passed class IX from the prestigious Delhi Public School at RK Puram. But, if as alleged, he doesn’t want to reveal his real age, a board examination certificate will certainly reveal his actual date of birth. In all this rising dust, no one has stopped to ask why a couple of years would make such a vital difference and what is the advantage in lowering your educational qualifications. If Tej Pratap had said he was 27 or 28, would it have been a sensational discovery? But the BJP has decided to push the matter and demanded a ‘probe’ into the into the nomination papers alleging a fraud. Truly, the Bihar elections throw up the most unique situations.
