Questioning the source of their income, Sushil Kumar Modi, who served as Bihar's deputy CM during BJP, JD(U)'s combine rule, asked whether the assets declared by the two brothers had anything to do with the fodder scam in which Lalu Prasad has been convicted.

"Lalu's 9th & 11th passed sons have declared possessing 17Lakh Honda Fireblade Superbike & BMW costing 30 L. Is this fodder scam money?" Modi's tweet said. Also Read: Upper castes, Pappu Yadav - Decisive factors in Bihar poll?

While Tej Pratap is contesting election from Mahua Assembly seat in Vaishali district, Lalu's younger son Tejaswi is a candidate from Raghopur Assembly seat of the district.

Lalu's younger son is older than elder one

Lalu's sons - Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejashwi Prasad Yadav - are making their electoral debut in Bihar but their entry into the poll fray has kicked up a row over the confusion regarding their age.

Tej Pratap, the eldest son of Lalu and Rabri Devi, on Monday filed his nomination papers from Mahua assembly constituency wherein his age is shown 25 years, which is one year less than that of his younger brother Tejaswi who had filed his affidavit two days ago.

Downplaying the issue, Tejaswi clarified that his age mentioned in the affidavit is same as mentioned in his voter ID and that there was a printing error in it.
