The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's elder son, Tej Pratap Yadav, will begin campaigning for the party from Bihar's Maner in Pataliputra constituency from April 8.
Tej Pratap, who had on Monday floated a new outfit called Lalu Rabri Morcha stating he would contest as an independent candidate, clarified in a tweet that he will remain in RJD now and in future. He also said that he has not joined any other political party.
Lalu's daughter Misa Bharti is fighting polls from Pataliputra. In 2014, Bharti lost this seat to Ram Kripal Yadav of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The Lok Sabha polls in Bihar are scheduled to take place in all seven phases from April 11 to May 19. The results will be declared on May 23.
