Lalu Yadav's sons Tejaswi and Tej Pratap Yadav
As the Grand Alliance in Bihar raced to a spectacular victory, Lalu Yadav's sons Tejaswi and Tej Pratap Yadav, both won their first-ever election.
Tejaswi, 26, and his older brother Tej Pratap, 27, contested in the Raghopur and Mahua assembly constituencies.
Lalu Yadav is Nitish Kumar's partner in the Grand Alliance.
Tejaswi is younger, but is widely seen as Lalu Yadav's political heir. "We are grateful to the people. It is a verdict for development," he told reporters.
Along with their sister Misha Bharti, Tejaswi and Tej Pratap are the only ones among Lalu Prasad's nine children to enter politics.
Misa Bharti contested the national election last year but lost.
Lalu Yadav, who is barred from contesting elections after his conviction in a corruption scam, is seen to be banking on his sons, mainly Tejaswi, as his political successors.
Tejaswi once played with Indian Test cricket captain Virat Kohli.
